Abstract The internal fixation of maxillofacial fractures with plates and distracters has gained growing popularity during the last decades. The design of implants for fracture fixation has undergone a gradual evolution over the years as researchers have tried to facilitate healing and decrease the rate of complications. Osteolysis is one of the foremost problems limiting the survival of current implantation procedures. It is induced by the wear particles and corrosion products which incite an inflammatory response resulting in bone resorption and eventual loosening and failure of the bone fixation. The future research will help to limit the effects of wear particles by identifying the most suitable bearing surfaces. The pathologic cascade of events triggered by wear particles may be a potential site of action for drugs intended to prevent or check the progression of the disease. The paper presents a damages problems of the maxillofacial plate fixation. The surface failure at plate stabiliser elements showed typical damages for this system. Damages of screw’s steepl heads as well as the surface layers failure of the the coned seat on tie plates were observed. The surface failure at a screws were visible in a lesser degree. The biggest wear areas are visible on the cooperating surfaces of the plate sockets and the bone screw heads. Many types of damage characteristic of processes of corrosion damage and tribological wear, mainly abrasive, adhesive, and fretting wear, are observed here
