Inion biodegradable plates: The first century

I have used the Inion biodegradable plate system to treat patients with facial fractures who presented to Arrowe Park Hospital, Wirral between May 2003 and November 2004. I have inserted 100 miniplates (68 mandible, 15 maxilla, 12 zygomatic bone, 3 nose, and 2 thyroid cartilage). All the fractures healed.
