[The use of titanium nickelide devices in treating fractures of the zygomatico-orbital complex]
Abstract
The authors analyze the results of surgical treatment of 78 patients with zygomatico-orbital injuries. Mini-cramps and mini-plates of titanium nickelide with thermomechanical memory were employed for fracture fixation. Surgical strategy based on osteosynthesis with the use of such devices provides a reliable fixation of bone fragments and makes the operation less traumatic.
