Early Experience with Biodegradable Fixation of Pediatric Mandibular Fractures
This clinical study aims to evaluate the stability and efficiency of biodegradable selfreinforced poly-L/DL-lactide (SR-PLDLA) plates and screws for fixation of pediatric mandibular fractures. The study included 12 patients (3–12 years old) with 14 mandibular fractures. They were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by SR-PLDLA plates and screws. Maxillomandibular fixation was maintained for 1 week postoperatively. Clinical follow-up ... إقراء المزيد
