Biomechanical evaluation of cranial flap fixation techniques: comparative experimental study of suture, stainless steel wire, and rivetlike titanium clamp.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Current trends in the management of medial orbital wall fractures are toward the development of transconjunctival incisions and the use of endoscopic-assisted methods. Different authors have suggested variations of the medial transconjunctival approach. METHODS:(1) In 30 fresh cadaver orbits, the classic tr...
