Résumé
Evaluation of the mechanical integrity and reliability of polylactide-based miniplates for osseous free flap fixation at the mandible in an experimental study setup of a mandible reconstruction model. 1.0mm titanium miniplates (group TI) (MatrixMandible, DePuy Synthes, Umkirch, Germany) and 1.5mm polylactide miniplates (group PL) (Inion CPS, Inion Oy, Tampere, Finland) were used to fix a polyurethane (PU) fibula segment to a PU mandible reconstruction model using monocortical non-locking screws. Mastication was simulated via unilateral cyclic dynamic loading at 1Hz with increasing loads (+ 0.15N/cycle, Bionix, MTS, USA). A 3D optical tracking system (Aramis, GOM, Braunschweig, Germany) was used to determine interosteotomy movements (IOM). IOM were higher in the polylactide group (distal: P=0.001, mesial: P=0.001). Differences in mean stiffness (titanium: 478±68N/mm; polylactide: 425±38N/mm, P=0.240) and mean force at a vertical displacement of 1.0mm (titanium: 201.6±87.1N; polylactide: 141.3±29.9N, P=0.159) were not significant. The results of this study suggest that polylactide-based miniplates provide reduced mechanical integrity and higher interosteotomy movements in comparison to titanium miniplates in vitro. Indications for clinical use of polylactide-based miniplates in mandible reconstruction have to be placed critically. Future studies will focus on clinical complications of polylactide-based plates in risk patients.
