A new internal Mini-Locking-System was tested compared with conventional 2.0 mm Miniplates. Standardised osteotomies in the angular region of 16 human cadaver mandibles were fixed with a 6-hole-plate at the oblique line. Osteosynthesis and stability of fixation was proofed in a three-dimensional in-vitro-model in which functional load was simulated. Comparison of the different osteosynthesis techniques showed that in the case of Miniplate fixation torsion and gapping of the bone fragments occurred following plate application and screw tightening when the plates were pressed onto the bone, so last incongruences between bone surface and plate were transferred to the mobile bone fragments resulting in more extended gaps and torsion. This was only observed to a much lesser extent with the Mini-Locking-System due to the fixation principle avoiding pressure to the bone. During functional loading the Mini-Locking-System showed also a significant higher stability in comparison to conventional Miniplates. Due to the fixation method imitating the principles of a fixateur the screws form together with the plate and the cortical bone a frame construction. Loading forces are transmitted without the need of plate friction directly from bone over the screws to the plate resulting in higher stability.

The authors aim to propose combination of Surgically Assisted Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SAMARPE) with orthopedic traction miniplates placement in cases where a sagittal deficiency coexists with the necessity of carrying out a surgical maxillary expansion. Unlike the conventional orthopedic traction technique, where the miniplates are placed bilaterally in the infrazygomatic crest of the maxillary buttress, in this scenario the upper miniplates should be placed below the LeFort I osteotomy, and therefore a little bit angulated.

Introduction: Mandibular fractures are common injuries during maxillofacial trauma, and currently, open reduction and internal fixation are considered gold-standard treatments. There is a wide discussion about which plates give the best outcomes. Hence, we are conducting a biomechanical comparison of two plates for mandibular symphysis and angle fracture with finite element analysis (FEA).

Mandibular angle fractures have the greatest recorded rate of postoperative complications of any mandibular location and hence they present an especially difficult task for surgeons. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the conventional miniplates and three dimensional (3D) plates in management of mandibular angle fracture and body fractures.60 patients with isolated non-comminuted mandibular angle fractures and body fractures were randomly assigned into two groups by lottery.

Background: Although the microplate system is commonly used for the treatment of maxillofacial fractures, its use in the fixation of mandibular fractures is not widely accepted.
Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of microplates and miniplates in osteosynthesis for the internal fixation of undisplaced and minimally displaced anterior mandibular fractures.
Material And Methods: A total of 40 patients diagnosed with undisplaced or minimally displaced symphyseal and parasymphyseal fractures were randomly assigned to 2 study groups (group A and group B).
Article Synopsis
- The text reviews the uncommon issue of metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction fractures in children's distal humerus, highlighting a lack of standardized management techniques, with most surgeons treating it like regular supracondylar humerus fractures.* ! -
- A systematic literature review was performed using multiple databases, assessing various treatment methods based on functional outcomes, complications, and demographic data from ten studies involving 178 pediatric patients.* ! -
- Results showed diverse treatment approaches, with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning being the most common, and the elastic stable intramedullary nail technique having the shortest operation time; however, the miniplate method had the quickest healing time.* !
