Bioabsorbable osteofixation for orthognathic surgery
Orthognathic surgery requires stable fixation for uneventful healing of osteotomized bony segments and optimal remodeling. Titanium plates and screws have been accepted as the gold standard for rigid fixation in orthognathic surgery. Although titanium osteofixation is the most widely used approach, the use of bioabsorbable devices has been increasing recently. Biodegradation of bioabsorbable de...
متن کاملSelf-reinforced bioabsorbable versus metallic fixation systems for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures: a biomechanical study.
Bioabsorbable fixation devices offer a useful option to treat small bone fractures of the hand if the prerequisite of reliable and stable osteofixation is met. We compared the stabilities of various bioabsorbable fixation devices with metallic fixation devices by using an oblique osteotomy model in radial to ulnar orientation. The 1.5-mm, self-reinforced, poly-L-lactide (SR-PLLA) pins provided ...
متن کاملEndoscopic forehead-lift using a bioabsorbable fixation device.
Endoscopic brow-lift is the method of upper face rejuvenation preferred by facial plastic surgeons and patients alike. The technique has undergone significant scrutiny regarding methods of fixation. Many techniques have been described, including external bolster dressings, tissue adhesives, Kirschner-wire fixation, cortical tunnels and troughs, and permanent or temporary screw and plate fixatio...
متن کاملThe use of inter-maxillary fixation (IMF) screw for mandibular setback surgery
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess skeletal stability after mandibular setback surgery with and without an inter-maxillary fixation (IMF) screw. Subjects and Methods: The subjects consisted of 40 patients with mandibular prognathism. The subjects underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with titanium plate fixation and were divided into two groups, one with and one without ...
متن کاملFirst Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis: A Retrospective Comparison of Crossed-screws, Locking and Non-Locking Plate Fixation with Lag Screw
Background:Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. Still there is few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 60 patients who received an arthrodesis of the MTP-I between January 2008 and June 2010. With 20 patients each we performed a locking plate fixation with lag screw, arthrodesis w...
