Shaping of comminuted midface fractures with stock Titanium mesh: a technical note

Shaping of comminuted midface fractures with stock Titanium mesh: a technical note

Multiply fragmented fractures of the maxillofacial region are difficult to fix with traditional miniplate osteosynthesis because of the extremely small size of fragments, complex three-dimensional anatomy, thin bone unable to hold screws and multidirectional pull of muscles. We intend to present a t...
