Abstract
Le Fort defined the classic weak point of facial fractures. Fractures of the midface and mandible are believed to require management with st andard rigid fixation, Recent work has allowed mini- and microplating of multiple fracture fragments into more manageable larger segments fo r reduction and subsequent plating with rigid fixation to peripheral b uttresses, The technique and indications for use are outlined.
