Resorbable Fixation of Le Fort I Osteotomies
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1998We review our experience with resorbable fixation in Le Fort I osteotomies. We used resorbable plates and screws for fixation of 29 Le Fort I osteotomies over a 1-year period (October 1996-November 1997). Patients ages ranged from 13 to 38 years (mean, 24.7 years). The postoperative follow-up ranged from 2 weeks to 1 year.
