    Author: Lai G.
    Journal: Zhongguo Xiu Fu Chong Jian Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1997 Jul; 11(4):196-8. PubMed ID: 9867976.
    Abstract:
    The three-dimensional (3-D) Titanium miniplate system is one of the newest internal rigid fixation for the maxillo-mandibular surgery in recent years. The geometry of the plate assures a good stability in the three-dimensions of the fracture sits. Thirty patients suffering from maxillo-mandibular fractures had been operated on using the 3-D Titanium miniplates since 1991. The group of the patient included 16 cases of mandibular fractures, 8 cases of maxillary fractures and 6 cases of maxillo-mandibular fracture. All of the patient had very good result without any complication. The follow-up was 6 months to 3 years. The 3-D Titanium miniplate as an ideal easy to use, good resistance against torque forces and, compact forms of the miniplate were the some of the advantages. Clinical examples had been provided to illustrate the actual usage of the 3-D miniplate in the field of the surgical treatment for the maxillo-mandibular fracture. It is the author's opinion that the internal rigid fixation by 3-D Titanium miniplates is a promising method of treating fractures of the maxilla and is to be better tolerated by the patients and surgeons.
