  • Title: Self-compression plates for orbital rim fractures.
    Author: Freeman LN, Seiff SR, Aguilar GL, Rathbun JE, Sullivan JH.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 1991; 7(3):198-207. PubMed ID: 1911527.
    Abstract:
    The development and principles of self-compression plating, as well as a series of patients treated with this technique, are described. The use of such plates has specific advantages over other techniques for disorders encountered by the oculoplastic surgeon. The indications for plating were displaced trimalar fracture, displaced trimalar fracture with orbital rim fragment, and comminuted orbital rim fracture. Results were good; no complications have been observed to date. Comparison of compression plating to other methods for repair of orbital fractures is made. Self-compression plating with Vitallium plates is an effective modality for the treatment of a broad spectrum of patients with orbital rim fractures.
