title: [Osteosynthesis treatment of periorbital fractures with the mandibular mesh system].
abstract: We report about 11 patients with periorbital fracture. Blow-out fracture and patients with fracture of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus. Treatment was operative osteosynthesis. We used for that the Mandibular Mesh System of 3M Company, Germany. We usually observed the patients for one year and got a firm unification of the fragments, as well a good cosmetic success from the beginning. We had not seen any complications caused by the osteosynthesis material. The author consider the most important advantages of this system to be the considerably smaller measurements, the possibility to form the osteosynthetical sheets out of a lattice, the higher solidity of Titanium and the good formability.
