Resorbable osteosynthesis material – using SonicWeld system
نویسنده
چکیده
material is to avoid a second operation to remove the plates and screws. Additional surgery has inherent risks and further social, health political and economic burden can be avoided . There have been frequent discussions about leaving metallic osteosynthesis material in situ and this option is seen in the various regional and national differences. Despite the body’s tolerance of titanium, removal is recommended by many authors 2) 5) due to various reasons (metallosis, corrosion, thermal paraesthesia, risk of exposure of the osteosynthesis material on progressive resorbtion in the edentulous patients, artefacts on radiological investigations, malposition and loosening, migration of osteosynthesis material, especially in paediatric craniofacial surgery).

Prospective assessment of complications associated with ultrasound activated resorbable pin osteosynthesis in pediatric craniofacial surgery: preliminary results.
Ultrasound activated resorbable pin osteosynthesis (UARPO) has recently shown favourable results in operations on children suffering for craniosynostosis. However, data on complications coming with this new technique in children suffering from craniosynostoses are scarce and have only been assessed retrospectively so far. It has been the aim of the present study to prospectively follow up child...
متن کاملPerspectives on resorbable osteosynthesis materials in craniomaxillofacial surgery.
Since introduction to the clinics in the 1990s, resorbable osteosynthesis systems have undergone extensive improvements in order to establish their use as a standard treatment, especially in craniomaxillofacial surgery. However, the development of osteosynthesis systems made of poly(α-hydroxy acid) polymers has been hindered by the lack of information on the mechanical properties and biocompati...
متن کاملIn vitro resistance of titanium and resorbable (poly L-co-DL lactic acid) osteosynthesis in mandibular body fracture.
This study was a comparative evaluation of the bending resistance of metallic and resorbable plates and screws in a mandibular body fracture model. Forty polyurethane synthetic hemimandibles were used; a vertical linear cut was made between the second and first premolars. These 40 hemimandibles were divided into four groups of 10 and were fixed with titanium plates and screws or resorbable plat...

Osteosynthesis screws and titanium or resorbable pins have been recommended for fixing guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes and stabilizing the graft. However, the removal of fixation screws or pins often requires an additional surgical procedure. This article presents a periosteal suturing technique with resorbable sutures for the fixation of grafts and membranes in GBR in single implant s...

OBJECTIVES Screw fixation and fragment anchoring in osteoporotic bones is often difficult. Problems like the cut out phenomenon and implant migration in osteoporotic bones have been reported. One possibility of improving the anchoring force of screws is augmentation of the screw. Cement-augmented screws in spinal surgery could exhibit a better anchoring in osteoporotic bones. METHODS The purp...
