Rigid internal fixation (RIF) is commonly used for the anatomical reduction and fixation of facial fractures. This technique has many advantages over more traditional methods, such as wire osteosynthesis and maxillomandibular fixation. Properly placed RIF ensures a stable anatomical reduction and allows for immediate or early restoration of function. RIF has a number of complications associated with its use in facial trauma surgery including metal sensitivity, infection, neurologic injury, dental trauma, stress shielding, and malocclusion. Complication rates appear to be inversely proportional with operator skill and experience when using RIF.
坚固内固定（RIF）常用于面部骨折的解剖复位和固定。与更传统的方法（如钢丝骨接合术和颌间固定）相比，该技术具有许多优势。正确放置的坚固内固定可确保稳定的解剖复位，并能立即或早期恢复功能。坚固内固定在面部创伤手术中的使用存在一些并发症，包括金属过敏、感染、神经损伤、牙外伤、应力遮挡和错牙合畸形。使用坚固内固定时，并发症发生率似乎与术者的技术和经验成反比。
