Sagittal Split Plate Versus Two Miniplates in the Treatment of Mandibular Angle Fractures

New Design Sagittal Split Plate Versus Two Miniplates in the Treatment of Mandibular Angle Fractures (Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

Mandibular fractures are the second most common maxillofacial fracture after nasal bone fracture. As a result, a lot of research work has gone into improving treatment methods for these fractures including, reduction of immobilization period and enhancement of rigid fixation. One of these modalities is the use of Sagittal Split plate at the angle of the mandible.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients suffering from recent, uninfected angle mandibular fracture.
• Fracture that demands open reduction and internal fixation.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Medically compromised patients contradicting the operation.
• Existence of infection at the fracture line.
• Pathological fracture.
• An old fracture.
