Within the last 30 years, rigid fixation has revolutionized a wide range of treatment procedures in cranio-maxillofacial surgery. Rigid fixation allows for a three-dimensional reconstruction of the facial skeleton. In fracture treatment and following osteotomies in orthognathic surgery, any postoperative maxillo-mandibular fixation by dental arch bars can be avoided. Rigid plate and screw fixation began in 1886 when the Hamburg surgeon Carl Hansmann presented his experiences with the plate and screw system, which he had developed. Besides fractures of the extremities, Hansmann also reported about two cases of mandible fractures he had treated. Thus, Hansmann is the first representative of rigid plate fixation in maxillofacial surgery. Because of the high rate of complications, plate and screw osteosynthesis was not generally accepted for a long time. This changed when the Belgian surgeon Robert Danis in 1949 introduced the prin...
