Features: This book is a specialized monograph on rigid internal fixation of the jaw and its application techniques, divided into two main parts: the Basic Theory Section and the Clinical Application Section. In the Basic Theory Section, it comprehensively reviews the development of jaw fixation technology, while integrating mature international theories, academic trends, and the author's research findings to elaborate on the histological and biomechanical foundations of rigid internal fixation, as well as the technical principles of various fixation methods. In the Clinical Application Section, the author combines their experience and insights to describe the clinical applications of rigid internal fixation in fracture treatment, orthognathic surgery, bone defect reconstruction, etc. It particularly introduces new technologies such as tension band fixation for mandibular angle fractures, rigid internal fixation for condylar fractures, three-dimensional cranial simulation, artificial temporomandibular joints, and functional reconstruction of mandibular defects. It also addresses challenging issues like the treatment of old condylar fractures, naso-orbital fractures, and zygomatic fractures with secondary enophthalmos and diplopia, with many contents derived from our systematic research projects. The book consists of 11 chapters and over 700,000 words, interspersed with numerous typical cases and approximately 500 sets of surgical and imaging photographs. Its content reflects, to some extent, the development trends in related fields and demonstrates novelty. The book leans toward clinical applications, technical procedures, and the description of challenging issues, making it easy to read and understand with strong practicality. The target readers primarily include clinical physicians, graduate and undergraduate students in oral surgery, maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, as well as researchers and equipment developers in related fields.
