Open reduction internal fixation was done with biodegradable plates and screws. All patients were reviewed clinically and radiographically at regular follow\u2010up. Occlusion, stability of fracture segments, anesthesia or paresthesia of the infraorbital nerve region, and various complications were assessed periodically.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fourteen patients with 34 fracture sites were included in the study. Intraoperatively, there were 2\u00a0incidences of screw head fracture. As observed clinically, there was complete stability of fracture segments, and no maxillomandibular fixation was required postoperatively. Paresthesia of the infraorbital nerve was present in 5 patients, but the sensation recovered completely in the first 3\u00a0months after surgery. The mean pain score was 3 on a visual analogue scale. In 1 case, ectropion developed, and dehiscence occurred in another patient in the early postoperative period. Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for the accuracy of fracture reduction and stability of fixation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The biodegradable osteosynthesis system exhibits adequate strength and has negligible complications.
