ABSTRACT

Face is likely to be injuried by trauma. With the ever-increasing traffic accidents and violence in present-day society. Therefore, multiple facial bone fractures are encountered more easily in the clinic. It is important to perform more accurte reduction of fracture displacements because of aesthetical and functional problems. The goal of modern facture management is directed toward the near-total or total initial reconstruction of the injuried bone. Miniplates(or microplates) and screws have high strength yet easily and precisely shaped to bone contours, excellent biocompatiblity. They are chemically inert and non-corrosive. Rigid internal fixation has proved to be a convenient and effective method in the treatment of various facial bone fractures. We report eleven patients with facial bone fractures treated with rigid internal fixation devices.

Keywords: Facial bone fracturesRigid internal fixation.
