Maxillofacial plates offer significant benefits in facial repair

Maxillofacial plates offer significant benefits in facial repair, especially in the treatment of jaw fractures. The following is a detailed description of the benefits of maxillofacial plates for facial repair:

I. Improve the stability of fracture fixation

Maxillofacial plate, especially microplate internal fixation, can significantly improve the stability of fracture fixation compared with traditional methods of jaw fracture treatment (such as intermaxillary fixation or open reduction interosseous wire ligation). Traditional intermaxillary fixation may bring the patient with the disadvantages of limited mouth opening, eating difficulty, speech inconvenience and poor oral hygiene, while open interosseous wire ligation may not achieve three-dimensional stabilization, nor can it establish sufficient interosseous pressure to meet the needs of maintaining absolute stability of the fracture area and promoting fracture healing. Microplate internal fixation ensures rapid recovery of local blood flow and rapid proliferation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts through unilateral periosteal osteotomy, which is conducive to the healing of the fracture.

Reduce surgical trauma and complications

Traditional open interosseous wire ligation requires stripping the periosteum on both sides and drilling through the bone cortex on both sides, which makes it difficult to penetrate and guide the wire, and the operation time is long, and there are more complications. In contrast, microplate internal fixation only cuts one side of the periosteum and does unilateral drilling through the bone cortex, so it has the advantages of easy operation, less trauma, shorter operation time and fewer complications. This helps to reduce the patient's pain and recovery time and improve the success rate of the procedure.
