Abstract
Microfixation represents a technical advance that has been developed for the specific needs of the infantile and pediatric craniomaxillofacial skeleton. The microplates provide significant skeletal stability despite their size and are relatively easy to apply and adjust after placement. The advantages and the technical aspects of microfixation use versus those of minifixation in smaller skeletal structures are presented. The range of applications in pediatric craniofacial surgery is demonstrated and reviewed in our series of 65 children, with a greater than 1-year follow-up.
