Official title
New Design Sagittal Split Plate Versus Two Miniplates in the Treatment of Mandibular Angle Fractures (Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)
Overview
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.
Interventions
- Procedure single Sagittal Split plate
patients will be treated using a single Sagittal Split plate at the neutral zone of mandible - Procedure two conventional miniplates
patients will be treated using two conventional miniplates according to Champy's osteosynthesis lines.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in pain scores [Time frame: baseline, 24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks]
- Change in Maximal Inter-Incisal Mouth [Time frame: baseline, 24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- postoperative infection [Time frame: 24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks]
- change in bone density [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
Eligibility criteria
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.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
