Application of 3D-Printed Personalized Bone Plate in the Management of Complex Maxillofacial Fractures

In computer-assisted surgery for complex maxillofacial fractures, surgical navigation combined with 3-dimensional models and surgical guides remains the mainstream approach, whereas applied research on 3-dimensional-printed personalized bone plates remains relatively limited. Our team presents a case of complex maxillofacial fractures with multiple systemic injuries, retrospectively analyzing surgical outcomes and focusing on the advantages of 3-dimensional-printed, personalized bone plates in maxillofacial fracture repair, and the potential impact of residual stress caused by the manual bending of thicker plates.
