A new twisted plate has been designed for biplane fixation of diaphyseal fractures of long bones. Comparative mechanical testing of the new twisted plate and conventional flat plates showed that the twisted plate was 40% stronger when a bending moment was applied and 132% stronger to a twisting moment. The overall improvement in strength was 90.5%. Clinical trials have been carried out and this paper describes the use of the new plate.
Between 1987 and 1991 we performed a unilateral or bilateral frontoorbital advancement to correct trigono- or plagiocephaly in 10 children: Three-dimensional CT provides an exact basis for operation planning. Titanium miniplates allow an already primarily rather stable osteosynthesis. The best time for this intervention is the end of the third month of life.
