Hardware-associated complications, especially hardware fractures, almost invariably necessitate explantation. Recent advances in manufacturing techniques promise potential advantages over traditional methods, including increased fracture resistance. However, to date, there is no scientific evidence confirming whether these benefits translate to real-life clinical conditions.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>A total of 210 patients underwent SMR followed by alloplastic reconstruction between 2007 and 2019 at Hannover Medical School. The indications for SMR were tumor (n = 208; n = 196 squamous cell carcinoma) and osteoradionecrosis (n = 2). The mean patient age was 60.61 years, with a range of 14 to 89 years. The cohort comprised 146 male patients (69.52%) and 64 female patients (30.48%). Of these, 113 patients underwent reconstruction using hand-bent reconstruction plates (RP), while 97 received patient-specific implants (PSI).

PSI is offering benefits beyond fracture resistance and does not delay SMR.</p><p><strong>Clinical relevance: </strong>HRC remain challenging and may additionally impair patients' quality of life. In particular, hardware fractures often necessitate additional surgical interventions, underlining the need to identify the factors that contribute to their occurrence.
