Reconstructing Facial Fractures With Rigidity, Aesthetic Care, & Bite Precision.

Displaced jaw fractures should ideally be repaired surgically within 7 to 10 days of the injury. During this initial window, the bone segments remain mobile. After 10-14 days, early fibrous union begins, meaning the bone starts healing in the incorrect, displaced position. Operating after this window requires re-fracturing (osteotomy) the bone, which makes restoring the natural dental bite significantly more complex.

No. By utilizing Rigid Internal Fixation (RIF) with titanium plates and screws, the bone fragments are held firmly together under mechanical stability. This allows patients to open their mouth, speak, and eat a soft diet immediately after surgery, completely avoiding the traditional 4-to-6 weeks of painful jaw wiring (Intermaxillary Fixation).

Double vision (diplopia) occurs when the orbital floor or wall fractures, allowing the fat and muscles surrounding the eyeball (specifically the inferior rectus muscle) to herniate downward into the maxillary sinus. This traps the muscle, restricting the eyeball's upward movement. Surgical reconstruction of the orbital wall releases the entrapped tissue and restores normal eye alignment.

No. Titanium is highly biocompatible and osseointegrates with the surrounding bone. It does not cause allergic reactions, degrade, or trigger airport security detectors. The plates are left in place permanently unless they become infected, exposed inside the mouth, or cause discomfort in cold weather, which happens in less than 5% of cases.
