In certain ares of the craniofacial skeleton the plate systems commonly used for rigid internal fixation seem to be over-dimensioned. The newly developed Micro System for internal fixation with extremely tiny plates and screws provides a firm three-dimensional fixation of segments with minimal interference with the overlying soft tissues. Fields of application are traumatology and craniofacial surgery in infants, fractures of the naso-ethmoidal region and the orbit, reconstruction of the skull, and the fixation of cartilage and bone grafts.
