Abstract:
Internal fixation with miniplates remains an accepted and reliable approach to the management of mandibular fractures, and erosion through the oral mucosa is a well-recognised long-term complication. We report a case of erosion of a miniplate through the skin 5 years after internal fixation of a fracture of the left mandibular angle.
