这项为期 10 年的回顾性研究的目的是评估颌面创伤和正颌手术中骨缝合后移除钛微型板的适应症。 1998 年 1 月至 2007 年 10 月期间在地区口腔颌面科放置了微型接骨板的所有患者均被纳入。记录以下变量：患者性别和年龄、插入的钢板数量、钢板放置的指征、钢板的位置、取出的钢板的数量和位置、取出钢板的指征、插入和取出之间的时间、医疗并发症和随访期。在为期 10 年的研究中，535 名患者体内植入了 1247 个微型钛板。从 30 名患者身上总共取出了 32 块（3%）钢板。浅表感染占所有移除板的 41%。所有并发症都很轻微，并且大多数钢板在插入后的第一年内被移除。 3% 的低去除率表明不需常规去除无症状钛微型板。
The objective of this 10 year, retrospective study is to evaluate the indications for the removal of titanium miniplates following osteosynthesis in maxillofacial trauma and orthognathic surgery. All patients who had miniplates placed in a Regional Oral and Maxillofacial Department between January 1998 and October 2007 were included. The following variables were recorded: patient gender and age, number of plates inserted, indications for plate placement, location of plates, number and location of plates removed, indications for plate removal, time between insertion and removal, medical co-morbidities, and the follow-up period. During the 10 years of the study, 1247 titanium miniplates were placed in 535 patients. A total of 32 (3%) plates were removed from 30 patients. Superficial infection accounted for 41% of all plates removed. All complications were minor and most plates were removed within the first year of insertion. A low removal rate of 3% suggests that the routine removal of asymptomatic titanium miniplates is not indicated.
