Mandibular Angle Fracture and Interframents Gap

Conditions
Mandibular Fractures
Interventions
Procedure: open reduction and internal fixation
Registration Number
NCT04729036
Lead Sponsor
Fayoum University
Brief 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
