Both maxillofacial mini Rectangular Plate and mandibular condylar plate are used for the fixation of mandibular fractures.
Features and Advantages
1. The edge of the Mini Locking Plate is designed with a low profile to reduce soft tissue irritation.
2. The Bone Screw tapping head is easy to insert.
3. Pure titanium is used as raw material, with high hardness, light weight, wear resistance and good biocompatibility, which can effectively reduce the possibility of complications.
Medical tips
The mandible is the largest in volume and area of the human maxillofacial skeleton, and it is also the only facial skeleton that can move. It is located in the lower part of the face,so it is very vulnerable to multi-direction violent impact when it is subjected to accidental impact such as traffic accident.On the other hand, the mandible is connected with the skull through muscles and lacks strong support.Therefore, the mandible is prone to fracture when impacted,accounting for about 72% of the incidence of maxillofacial fractures. The treatment of mandibular fracture mainly includes reduction and Maxillofacial Fixation, which aims to restore the correct occlusal relationship and restore the complete mandibular function as soon as possible. The reduction and fixation methods of mandibular fractures include non-open conservative treatment such as manual reduction, intermaxillary traction or craniomandibular traction, and open reduction and fixation can also be performed through surgery. After the bone segments were reduced, the maxillofacial mini rectangular plate/mandibular condylar fracture Locking Plate and a set of screws were used for fixation. After the fracture site healed, the fixation device was removed by a second operation about six months after the operation.
The cure criteria for condylar fractures are painless mandibular movement, normal relationship, and facial symmetry. The condyle has a strong capacity for shaping and remodeling. Whether condylar fracture should be operated depends on the level of fracture line, the degree of displacement of fracture fragment and the vertical height of ramus. When the fracture occurs in the condylar neck or subcondylar neck, the Angle of dislocation or internal bending of the fracture fragment is greater than 37 degrees, and the vertical height of the ramus is decreased more than 4mm, surgical treatment, anatomical reduction and internal fixation should be performed.
