Bioabsorbable fixation devices have been used in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery since the early 70's. In our departments the experimental use started in the 80's with self-reinforced (SR) polylactide devices. The first clinical operations were carried out in 1991. Since that time, we have used different types of self-reinforced bioabsorbable devices in the fixation of several hundreds of osteotomies and fractures.
