Abstract:
In this study, the authors proposed to determine the superiority or inferiority of the 3D fixation method and 2 miniplate fixation methods in mandibular angle fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 3D curved angle strut plate and 2 miniplates in mandibular angle fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 3-dimension curved angle strut plate versus 2 miniplates in mandibular angle fracture fixation. Sixteen patients requiring internal fixation of the mandibular angle fractures divided into 2 groups 8 in each group, group I was treated with using 3D curved angle strut plate. Group II was treated using two 2-mm miniplates. The results of this study suggested that there are statistically significant in time elapsed between plate adaptation and definitive fixation (min) between 2 groups. The 3D curved angle plate has relatively few or no postoperative complications compared with other techniques.
