Sagittal split plate versus two miniplates for fixing mandibular angle breaks

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with recent, uninfected mandibular angle fractures that require open reduction and internal fixation will receive either a single sagittal split plate or two conventional miniplates. Procedures and follow-up are conducted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Alexandria University. Outcomes will include fixation stability, healing time, need for postoperative immobilization, and complication rates such as infection or malocclusion. The trial compares these two fixation techniques to see which provides better clinical outcomes and fewer complications.
