Upper jaw osteosynthesis
Upper jaw fracture treatment with plates and screws.
Fractures of the upper jaw are considered severe injuries to the facial skeleton and require precise anatomical restoration. These injuries often result in bone displacement, bite disorders, changes in facial shape, and breathing difficulties. These cases require osteosynthesis, as traditional methods are ineffective.
Upper jaw osteosynthesis involves aligning and fixing bone fragments with titanium plates and screws. This procedure restores the bone's shape, ensures its stability, and prevents complications. This method is used for both fresh and old fractures, as well as in reconstructive surgeries following injuries.
Before the procedure, the patient undergoes an examination that includes X-rays and CT scans to assess the position of the fragments. Blood and urine tests, a coagulogram, and infection screenings are prescribed, as well as an ECG and necessary specialist consultations.
The surgeon aligns the bone fragments and secures them with titanium miniplates and screws. If necessary, an endoscopic system is used to control the precise repositioning of the fragments.
We use advanced surgical and endoscopic equipment, as well as titanium miniplates and screws.
After surgery, the patient will stay in the hospital for 1-3 days. For the initial weeks, a limited diet is advised, starting with liquids and advancing to soft foods. Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and physical therapy are prescribed, as well as exercise therapy to restore function. Full healing takes 30 to 90 days, depending on age and overall health.
Benefits
Jaw shape restoration
Allows the bone fragments to be aligned in an anatomically correct position.
Minimized complications
Secure fixation eliminates repeated displacement and inflammation.
Function preservation
Since the surgery does not affect chewing, breathing, or speaking, you can return to your regular activities much sooner.
Aesthetic accuracy
Miniplates do not deform the face, do not require external sutures and do not leave noticeable marks.
