Abstract:
Rigid internal fixation is now a common method for treating fractures of the facial skeleton. However, it is a very precise technique that requires more time than intraosseous wiring. This article reports the complications associated with rigid internal fixation of facial fractures in 223 patients and compares the findings with those accompanying intraosseous wiring.
