Video Summary

The video discusses the use of patient-specific 3D printed titanium plates for reconstructive surgery, specifically a case involving a 65-year-old male with adenoid cystic carcinoma. The plates are designed based on virtual surgical plans to fit the patient's anatomy accurately, enhancing fixation stability. The surgical team utilizes traditional craniofacial principles and CT data to position the plates correctly along craniofacial buttresses, maximizing bone fixation, especially on thicker bone regions. The process involves planning the osteotomies, screwing, and dental implant placements while ensuring precise alignment and fit for the reconstruction of the maxilla and fibula flap.
