U.S., Jan. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07365657) titled 'Finite Element Modelling of Le Fort I Osteotomy Fixation : PSI vs Miniplates' on Jan. 16.
Brief Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical performance of patient-specific versus conventional fixation for Le Fort I osteotomy using subject-specific finite element models derived from real surgical plans. Two distinct clinical scenarios-a minor advancement without impaction and a moderate advancement with posterior impaction-were analyzed to determine how surgical movements influence implant stress, bone stress, and maxillary micromotion. By combining surgical planning with validated computational modeling, this work provid...
