[The use of titanium mesh plates for graft fixation in mandibular osteoplasty].

Opportunities of the use of mesh titanium plates as fixing devices are considered at reconstruction operations. Data of following up 8 patients with defects of the mandible of various location and extent are analysed. They were operated with reconstruction of the mandible with iliac graft and bone graft fixing with the mesh titanium plates. A technique of the operations is described, a case of successful use of mesh titanium implant modelled by the form of the mandible in repair of the mandible defect. The analysis of long-term results shows the potential efficiency of the use of mesh titanium plates as fixing adaptations in bone plastic operations.
