Clinical Analysis of MatrixMANDIBLE Preformed Reconstruction Plate Design

The MatrixMANDIBLE Preformed Reconstruction Plates (MMPRPs) were developed to overcome the laborious bending procedures of conventional reconstruction plates. Besides reducing operating time, the biomechanical stress on the plate, known to promote fatigue fracturing, could be avoided. Furthermore, morphometric shape analysis of the anterolateral mandible in various ethnic populations resulted in a preshaped, load-bearing, osteosynthesis system designed to address the typical complications of reconstruction plates, such as screw and plate loosening, and exposure of the plate with subsequent intra-oral or orocutaneous fistula formation (Gellrich et al., 2004; Klotch et al., 1999; Martola et al., 2007; Metzger et al., 2011).
