ASSESSMENT OF A MODIFIED BONE FIXATION PLATE FOR TREATMENT OF LOWER JAW FRACTURES

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Fracture of mandible,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2022/02/040352
• Lead Sponsor: Dr JAKKIREDDY PRASANNA KUMAR

Brief Summary

1. Facial bone fractures are common following assaults, motor vehicle accidents and falls & among these fractures 40% of them involve the mandible.

2. Among this 40%, 30-40% of fractures involve mandibular angle region and Angle fractures continue to generate complication rates as high as 32% and are challenging for management.

3. Champy and others have described the ideal line of osteosynthesis which is now well known and accepted, forming the basis of internal fixation using mini-plates and screws.

4. Recently locking mini plate monocortical fixation approach has gained popularity, and studies have described low complication rates of 12-16% especially with the use of champy’s technique but however the stability of single mini-plate fixation at angle has been challenged in more recent biomechanical studies.

5. A new non-compression miniplate has been designed that provides similar advantages to the Champy technique.

6. This new miniplate differs from others used in the treatment of mandibular angle fractures by offering more adequacy of fixation and stability to the lateral displacing forces at the fracture site than conventional single miniplates and it could be useful in treatment of non-comminuted, non-complicated, and minimally displaced mandibular angle fractures.
