This study provides anatomical guidelines for miniplate fixation in the frontozygomatic region. Findings indicate specific screw lengths and safe zones to avoid cranial cavity penetration during surgical procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Anatomical studies

Background:

  • Miniplate fixation is utilized in the frontozygomatic (FZ) region.
  • Anatomical basis for optimal miniplate placement in the FZ region requires further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the anatomical basis for using miniplates in the frontozygomatic region.
  • To provide guidelines for screw selection and placement to minimize risks.

Main Methods:

  • Plaster models from 35 adult skulls were used.
  • Osseous thickness and cranial penetration risk were measured at six defined points.
  • Measurements were taken perpendicularly to the bone surface.

Main Results:

  • Screw length recommendations vary based on proximity to the FZ suture.

  • A 5-mm screw is suggested above the FZ suture.
  • 7-mm screws are suitable at points below the suture, and 5-mm screws above 18.5 mm from the suture.

    • Conclusions:

    • Specific screw lengths (5-mm and 7-mm) are recommended for the FZ region based on anatomical measurements.
    • The risk of cranial cavity penetration is identified at 10 mm above the FZ suture.
    • Optimal screw placement is defined by distance from the FZ suture and diploe thickness.
