In cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery, precision and stability are crucial for successful bone fixation and long-term patient outcomes. Among the various fixation systems available today, the CMF self-drilling screw 1.5 mm titanium stands out as an ideal solution for delicate and small-bone applications.
Designed for minimal invasiveness and reliable fixation, this miniature screw is widely used in orbital reconstruction, mandibular fractures, and other intricate facial surgeries where both size and performance matter.
Micro-Size Advantage: Ideal for Small Bones and Fine Anatomical Areas
The 1.5 mm titanium self-drilling screw offers a distinct advantage in micro-surgical applications. Its small diameter minimizes the risk of bone splitting and reduces surgical trauma, making it particularly suitable for thin cortical bone or small fragments commonly encountered in orbital walls, nasal bones, or pediatric CMF cases.
Compared with larger screw systems, the 1.5 mm design requires less bone removal during drilling, preserving bone integrity and blood supply. This micro-dimension contributes to faster healing and reduces post-operative discomfort for patients. Additionally, the self-drilling feature eliminates the need for pre-drilling, shortening operation time and enhancing surgical precision in confined spaces.
Compatibility and Stability with CMF Locking Plates
One of the major strengths of the 1.5 mm self-drilling screw lies in its seamless compatibility with CMF titanium locking plates. When used together, they form a stable and secure fixation construct that prevents screw loosening, even under mechanical stress or in mobile bone segments such as the mandible.
The screw’s self-tapping and self-drilling tip ensures a tight and reliable fit with the plate holes, maintaining consistent compression at the bone–plate interface. This results in enhanced load distribution and improved resistance to micro-movement. Whether used for rigid fixation in small fractures or reconstructive procedures requiring contour stability, this combination supports predictable clinical outcomes and mechanical integrity.
Clinical Applications: Proven Results in CMF Surgery
The CMF self-drilling screw 1.5 mm titanium has demonstrated excellent results across various clinical indications.
Orbital Floor and Wall Reconstruction
In orbital fractures, where bone thickness and space are limited, the 1.5 mm system provides a precise fixation solution. Surgeons can securely attach thin titanium meshes or plates to restore orbital volume without risking tissue impingement or screw protrusion.
Mandibular and Maxillary Mini-Fractures
For small or partial mandibular fractures, especially in pediatric or anterior regions, the screw’s compact profile ensures sufficient stability while minimizing soft-tissue irritation.
Zygomatic and Nasal Bone Fixation
In midface trauma, the 1.5 mm screws help achieve accurate repositioning of the zygomatic arch and nasal bones, maintaining symmetry and functional restoration with minimal hardware footprint.
These clinical applications highlight the system’s versatility and the growing preference among surgeons for miniature fixation systems that combine safety, strength, and efficiency.
High-Quality Titanium for Long-Term Biocompatibility
Manufactured from medical-grade titanium, these self-drilling screws ensure superior biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. Titanium’s lightweight and non-magnetic properties make it well-suited for CMF implants, supporting osseointegration while avoiding allergic or inflammatory reactions. The precision-machined threads enhance grip and stability, ensuring long-lasting fixation performance even in challenging bone structures.
Conclusion
The CMF self-drilling screw 1.5 mm titanium represents the evolution of mini fixation technology—offering surgeons the perfect balance between micro-dimension design and reliable mechanical strength. Its compatibility with CMF locking plates, excellent biocompatibility, and proven results in orbital and mandibular applications make it a preferred choice for delicate reconstructive procedures.
