Summary

Twenty-five patients with mandibular angle fracture were subjected to reduction and fixation through intra-oral open reduction and semi-rigid min plate fixation near the superior border of the mandible at Champy's osteosynthesis line. The linear inter-fragmentary gap was measured at the inferior border of the mandible after fixation of the fractured bony segments in the final aligned position immediately postoperative on a panoramic radiograph for the mesio-distal plane and a cone beam computed tomography for the bucco-lingual plane to assess any lingual splay. The healing process was clinically followed for 3 months postoperatively for any complications and/or patient complains

Conditions

• Mandibular Fractures

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	open reduction and internal fixation	The same surgical team have treated all the patients through open reduction via an intra-oral mucosal flap under general anesthesia with insertion and fixation of a 4-6 holes 2.0 miniplate and 5 mm screws at the superior border of the mandible at Champy's osteosynthesis line
