Biomechanical evaluation of Chinese customized three-dimensional printed titanium miniplate in the Lefort I osteotomy: A finite element analysis

Objectives: This work aims to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of Chinese customized three-dimensional (3D) −printed miniplates by means of finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: A 3D Lefort I osteotomy model was established by Mimics. Two models were established to compare the strain behaviors...
