A sixteen-year evaluation of the mandibular staple bone plate.
A retrospective study was done of 1,516 patients who had a mandibular staple bone plate operation for jaw reconstruction during the period from 1968 to 1984. The results indicated that 91.75% of the staples were functioning well without major complications, 2.70% were functioning well following repair or replacement, 1.98% were functioning moderately well after unloading (overdenture relief due to mobility), and 3.57% had been removed. The cumulative rate of success was 94.64% for five to six years and 90.89% for ten to 16 years.
