Fixation of bimaxillary osteotomies with resorbable plates and screws: experience in 20 consecutive cases.
99
TL;DR: The initial clinical findings suggest that this form of bone fixation is a viable alternative to standard metallic fixation techniques for certain maxillomandibular deformities in which excessive bony movements are not performed.

Condylar positioning devices for orthognathic surgery: a literature review
Fábio Wildson Gurgel Costa,Massimo Robiony,Corrado Toro,Salvatore Sembronio,Francesco Polini,Massimo Politi +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that there is no scientific evidence to support the routine use of CPDs in orthognathic surgery and their application to prevent skeletal instability and contain TMD since 1995.

Fixation of osteochondritis dissecans lesions using poly(l-lactic acid)/ poly(glycolic acid) copolymer bioabsorbable screws.
TL;DR: In general, the 2.5-mm-diameter Lacto Sorb copolymer screws provided adequate stability for healing of osteochondritis dissecans lesions and degraded without an inflammatory response by the body.

Are there any complications with bioabsorbable fixation devices? A 10 year review in orthognathic surgery.
Pekka Laine,Risto Kontio,Christian Lindqvist,Christian Lindqvist,Riitta Suuronen,Riitta Suuronen +5 more
TL;DR: Based on the experience, bioresorbable devices are safe to be used in orthognathic procedures, however, there is a learning curve, as there is with all new methods introduced.

Comparison of different fixation methods following sagittal split ramus osteotomies using three-dimensional finite elements analysis. Part 1: advancement surgery-posterior loading
TL;DR: It was concluded that the use of 2.0mm lag screws placed in a triangular configuration following the BSSRO advancement surgery provides sufficient stability with any rotational movement and less stress fields at the osteotomy site, when compared with the other rigid fixation methods used in the current study.

A randomized controlled trial of resorbable versus titanium fixation for orthognathic surgery.
TL;DR: Bioresorbable fixation devices offer similar function as titanium in fixation for orthognathic surgery and do not impose an increase in the clinical morbidities.

Biodegradable self-reinforced poly-L/DL-lactide plates and screws in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery: short term skeletal stability and material related failures.
Piet E. Haers,Hermann F. Sailer +1 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the tested system of biodegradable self-reinforced poly-L/DL-lactide screws and plates has a small material-related failure rate, and that their application in orthognathic surgery leads to a predictable short-term skeletal stability pattern which is comparable to the 'gold standard' of titanium plates and screws.

Bioabsorbable plates and screws in pediatric craniofacial surgery: a review of 22 cases.
TL;DR: Early experience suggests reabsorb-able fixation is an attractive option in pediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery and may represent the standard of care in reconstruction of the infant calvarium.

The removal of plates and screws after Le Fort I osteotomy
TL;DR: Only a small number of patients develop complications from plates or screws that required their removal, and in each case, prompt removal constituted adequate management.

Sagittal splitting and bicortical screw fixation of the ascending ramus.
TL;DR: A procedure for osteosynthesis following sagittal splitting of the ascending ramus of the mandible using the intraoral approach and the method of transcutaneous drilling is described.

Early experience with biodegradable fixation for congenital pediatric craniofacial surgery.
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the efficacy of bioresorbable plates and screws for the growing pediatric craniofacial patient and suggested future studies and longer longitudinal follow-up are desirable to confirm these findings.
