Mechanical aspects of a multidirectional, angular stable osteosynthesis system and comparison with four conventional systems

Symptomatic plate removal after treatment of facial fractures

“…In patients at risk, a reduction in the complication rate may be achieved with the use of more rigid fixation devices. The new angular stable mini-locking systems allow smaller access incisions and less soft tissue trauma than traditional reconstruction plates (Gbara et al 2008a;Gbara et al 2008b), yet providing a significantly higher stability than conventional miniplates.…”

Masticatory System Biomechanical Photoelastic Simulation fot the Comparision of the Conventional and Uni-Lock Systems in Mandibular Osteosynthesis

“…We used the 2.4 mm locking system in this study because at the time of the experimental work the single 2.0mm lock plate was still controversial for treating body angle fractures [21,22], but since then, similar fixation rates have been reported with the 2. mm plate, which offers a similar, or even better stability than conventional osteosynthesis systems [23,24].…”

Study of Efficacy and the Comparison Between 2.0 mm Locking Plating System and 2.0 mm Standard Plating System in Mandibular Fractures

“…Exact plate adaptation is no longer necessary which should shorten operation times [32][33][34]. The operating time required for the adaptation and fixation of locking plate ranged from 5 to 9 min with a mean time of 6.8 min and the operating time required for the adaptation and fixation of Champy's miniplate ranges from 8 to 14 min with a mean of 10.1 min.…”
