The objectives of this study are to determine the removal rates of orthognathic plates used during orthognathic surgery at James Cook University Hospital and describe the reasons for plate removal. 202 consecutive orthognathic cases were identified between July 2004 and July 2012. Demographics and procedure details were collected for these patients. Patients from this group who returned to theatre for plate removal between July 2004 and November 2012 were identified and their notes were analysed for data including reason for plate removal, age, smoking status, sex and time to plate removal. 3.2% of plates were removed with proportionally more plates removed from the mandible than the maxilla. 10.4% of patients required removal of one or more plate. Most plates were removed within the first post-operative year. The commonest reasons for plate removal were plate exposure and infection. The plate removal rates in our study are comparable to those seen in the literature.
本研究的目的是确定詹姆斯库克大学医院正颌手术中使用的正颌钢板的取出率，并描述钢板取出的原因。在2004年7月至2012年7月期间识别出202例连续的正颌病例。收集了这些患者的人口统计学资料和手术细节。确定了该组中在2004年7月至2012年11月期间返回手术室进行钢板取出的患者，并分析了他们的病历以获取包括钢板取出原因、年龄、吸烟状况、性别和钢板取出时间等数据。3.2%的钢板被取出，下颌骨取出的钢板比例比上颌骨更多。10.4%的患者需要取出一块或多块钢板。大多数钢板在术后第一年内取出。钢板取出的最常见原因是钢板暴露和感染。我们研究中的钢板取出率与文献中报道的相当。
