  • Title: [Internal fixation with mini-titanium plate for midface fractures].
    Author: Wu H, Zhu Z, Li Y, Duan H, Liu J.
    Journal: Hunan Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao; 1998; 23(1):65-6, 72. PubMed ID: 10681800.
    Abstract:
    Thirty four patients with midface bone fractures were fixed by rigid internal fixation (RIF) with min-titanium plate. An optimum exposure is provided for the fracture sites of zygomatic, zygomatic arch, orbital floor and maxilla with the coronal incision and adjuvant incisions. The approach was of benefit to accurate anatomic reduction and fixation of the fracture segments. RIF with min-titanium plate provided three-dimensional stability. The fixation of zygomatic-frontal crevice and zygomatic maxillary crevice were the key for obtaining sufficient stability, and at least two fixation screws were required above zygomatic-frontal crevice.
