摘要:
Plates and screws are effective for rigid internal fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies in the midface, orbit, and cranium. We describe our experience with the Luhr Micro System. This is the newest generation of Luhr Systems and is the smallest system available for rigid internal fixation. The self-tapping screws are 0.8 mm in diameter, with lengths of 2–8 mm. The plates have an extremely flat profile. We have used the Micro System for closure of elective osteotomies following resection of orbital neoplasm, bony orbital reconstruction, and repair of congenital craniofacial deformities. Because the orbital bones have minimal functional stress, the Micro System provides adequate support. The plates are not apparent through the thin periorbital skin. For bony fixation in the periorbital region, the Micro System appears superior to larger systems and to wire or nonabsorbable sutures.
