مستخلص المنشور

Resorbable plates were used in 15 patients for fixation of maxillofacial skeleton  either after trauma or orthognathic surgery. The technique was applied in 8 cases in the midface and in 7 cases in the mandible. Fixation of the plates was done with resorbable screws activated through ultrasound appartus. Application was easy in some areas and difficult or impossible to use in other areas. Postopertively, the fixed bone remained stable enough to allow complete healing with  no major complications
