摘要
This report demonstrates further experience in the use of the absorbable plating system since our preliminary report in 1996. We found more indications for the application of the absorbable plating system in the craniofacial skeleton in children and in covering cranial bone graft donor sites. The system is unique, the applications are widespread over the horizon, and the only limitations are those of the operating surgeon. The advantage is that in 1 year the system absorbs completely by hydrolysis, giving minimal inflammatory reaction at the site.
