Abstract

The aim of this study was to verify clinically the effectiveness of sonic weld RX® Resorbable plates and pins in stabilizing orbital fractures. Fifteen patients presented with traumatic orbital fractures, 8 males and 7 females, treated with open reduction and internal fixation using resorbable plates and pins. The pins were activated through ultrasound apparatus to be fixed to bone and welded to the plates. Postoperatively, the fixed bone remained stable enough to allow complete healing with minimum complications. No need for second operation to remove the plates as they are resorbable. Accordingly, Sonic weld resorbable plates and screws system is reliable in treatment of non-stress bearing orbital fracture.
