Conventional fixation of an osteosynthesis plate with screws. The conventional fixation of an osteosynthesis plate on a rabbit bone sample with a square cut damage of ca. 1 cm2 as it is common in midfacial surgery. The plate is fixed to the bone by fastening screws in the osseous lamella to both the bone of sufficient cortical bone mass and to the fragile bone fragment.
