Abstract
:
Obj~ctives: Rigid internal lixation (RIF) using different bone plates and screws is now the most commonly employed method for lixation of facial osteotomies. Thc article discusses lhc fate of thesc implanted platcs and scrcws after healing of osteotomies. Materials and m~thods: Ren1rds of 56 patients who underwent orthognathk surgery wcre collected and analyzed. All ostcQ(omieswere rigidly lixed using bone plates or screws. Results: A total numberof I ]6 platesand 272 screwswereused for lixation.The data showcd that a total number of 33 plates (28%) and 52 screws (9%) were removcd. The causes of plate removal were, infection (36%). dehiscence (22%). prominent plates (15%), secondary surgkal procedures (12%). thermal sensitivity (19%) and according to patient request (6%). The causes of screw reml1val were infection <36.5%), pain (32.5%), secondary surgical procedures (19.5%) and due to paticnt request ( 11.5%). Conclusion: Plates and scrcws were only removed when they became symptomatic. So patients in whom RIF is used for lixation of osteotomies should be informed that there if.a future possibility that the implanted plates and screws may be a source of complaint which will necessitate their removal.
