The resorbable fixation system is used for the treatment of facial bone fractures and has many merits. It does not require a fixture removal procedure and is biologically nontoxic. Also, it does not disturb normal growth in growing children. However, there are also many points to be considered, such as resorption time, foreign body reaction, infection rate, or fixation stability depending on the fracture pattern. Because of these factors, there is still controversy over the use of a resorbable system.We present a case of a patient who experienced malunion after using a resorbable fixation system to treat bilateral mandibular angle fracture, which was recovered by corrective osteotomy and vertical ramus osteotomy in our department.

Due to bone loss, implant placement in the posterior mandible is often impossible without prior augentative procedures. The reconstruction of bone defects with horizontal and vertical components using particulated bone grafts requires the placement of a mechanically stable structure for stabilization of the grafting material. Although titanium-reinforced membranes and titanium meshes have been shown to be effective in this indication, the necessity of their removal, often in a separate surgical procedure, is seen as a disadvantage.

The most common surgical procedure to manage the malunion of the bones is corrective osteotomy. The current gold standard for securing the bone segments after osteotomy is the use of titanium plates and allografts which have disadvantages such as possible allergic reaction, additional operations such as extraction of the graft from other sites and removal operation. The utilization of resorbable materials presents an opportunity to mitigate these drawbacks but has not yet been thoroughly researched in the literature.

Introduction: Sagittal synostosis (SS) is the most prevalent form of craniosynostosis. It is the premature fusion of the sagittal suture, resulting in a "boat like" skull shape. Early surgical intervention is crucial to prevent complications, yet no standard procedure exists for patients over 12 months old.
