Indications for Use of a Microsystem for Internal Fixation in Craniofacial Surgery

Abstract

The successful use of the newly developed Micro System for internal fixation is discussed. The Micro System provides a firm three-dimensional fixation of segments. Since it cannot withstand extreme muscle or masticatory forces, it should be used selectively. Its usefulness in the fields of craniofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and hand surgery is viewed optimistically.
