Orthopedic maxillofacial plates are specialized devices utilized in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery, a field dedicated to the treatment of facial and skull/cranial injuries, as well as the reconstruction of related disorders. These maxillofacial plates and screws are integral to surgical procedures that require the fixation and stabilization of bones in the maxillofacial region, ensuring proper alignment and facilitating the healing process.
These maxillofacial plates are typically made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or its alloys, recognized for their strength, corrosion resistance, and non-reactive properties within the body.
