This study was conducted to compare the outcome of single noncompression miniplate versus two noncompression miniplates in the treatment of mandibular angle fracture. A total of 40 patients were divided into two groups: Group I ( n = 20), patients were treated by single miniplate at superior border of mandible by intraoral approach; Group II ( n = 20), patients were treated by one miniplate at superior border of mandible, intraorally, and another at the lateral aspect of angle, transbuccally by trocar and cannula. Comparative evaluation was done at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks and 6 months. The findings of this study suggest that there was no significant difference in postoperative complications (malocclusion, pain, swelling, infection, facial nerve injury, wound dehiscence, plate exposure) and bite force between the two groups.

Angle Fractures

Fractures of the mandibular angle account for 23 to 42% of all facial fractures with a high complication rate (0–32%). Although the ideal treatment remains debatable, two main procedures are commonly used to manage the majority of mandibular angle fractures that are open reduction and internal fixation by a noncompression miniplate placed on the external oblique ridge with or without a second miniplate on the outer cortex. The purpose of this study was to describe our management of mandibular angle fractures by two noncompression miniplates placed on the outer cortex via a transbuccal approach. Medical records and radiographic examination of 389 patients (258 males [66.3%] and 131 females [33.7%]) operated from January 2000 to December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative complications including malocclusion, infection, wound dehiscence, nonunion, and reoperative surgery were recorded and analyzed. Fifty-three patients developed postoperative complications (overall complication rate: 13.6%). No significant difference was found in the complication rate by age and gender variables and regarding the interval between the trauma and the operation and the presence of the teeth in the line of fracture. A higher rate of complications was found among patients with alcohol/drug addiction and in patients with multiple-site involvement. The findings of this study suggest that the use of two transbuccal miniplates placed on the outer cortex for the internal fixation of mandibular angle fracture provided a low rate of complications. The global incidence of screw loosening, wound dehiscence, plate exposure, infection, reoperation, and plate removal were similar with the data reported in the literature with improved health outcomes, lower postoperative morbidity, and a faster return to normal life.

To Receive

This prospective randomized clinical trial compared the treatment outcomes of strut plate and Champy miniplate in fixation of mandibular angle fractures. Patients with mandibular angle fracture were consented and enrolled into this study. Exclusion criteria include patients with severely comminuted fractures. The patients were randomly assigned to receive the strut plate or Champy miniplate for angle fracture fixation. Patient demographics, fracture characteristics, operative and postoperative outcomes were collected prospectively. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the significance of the outcome. A total of 18 patients were included in this study and randomly assigned to receive either the strut plate or Champy miniplate. Out of which five patients were excluded postoperatively due to complex fracture resulting in postoperative maxillomandibular fixation. The final enrollment was 13 patients, N = 6 (strut) and N = 7 (Champy). There was no statistically significant difference in the pretreatment variables. Nine of these patients had other associated facial fractures, including parasymphyseal and subcondylar fractures. Most of the (11) patients had sufficient follow-up after surgery. Both groups exhibited successful clinical unions of the mandibular angle fractures. The complications associated with the mandibular angle were 20% in the strut plate group and 16.7% in the Champy group. One patient in the strut plate group had a parasymphyseal infection, requiring hardware removal. The strut plate demonstrated comparable surgical outcome as the Champy miniplate. It is a safe and effective alternative for management of mandibular angle fracture.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the relationship between impacted mandibular third molar presence and the risk for mandibular angle fracture with the effect of various positions of mandibular third molar and the risk of mandibular angle fracture. Materials and Methods: In the North Indian territory, a total of 289 patients with mandibular angle fractures were studied and evaluated for the possible relationship with impacted third molar on the basis of clinical and panoramic radiographical findings. Results: Results that confirmed the highest risk for mandibular angle fracture was associated with mesioangular angulations (45.42%) followed by vertical (26.34%), distoangular in sequence and least risk was found with bucco-version angulations (2.67%) according to Winter′s classification. Additionally, the highest risk of mandibular angle fracture was reported with partially erupted third molar (47.75%), followed by erupted (23.53%) and unerupted third molar (19.38%). Conclusion: The risk for mandibular angle fracture is not only affected by status of eruption, angulations, position, number of roots present in third molar but also by the distance of mandibular third molar from inferior border of mandible and the percentage of remaining amount of bone at the mandibular angle region.

Background and Objectives The ideal line of osteosynthesis in mandibular angle fractures indicates that a plate might be placed either along or just below the external oblique ridge. Some authors believe that using one miniplate at this line at the mandibular angle region provides sufficient strength to stabilize the fracture but others imply a second plate is required. Such controversies exist in the use of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF). The intention of the present study was to compare efficiency and complications of using one miniplate with and without MMF in mandibular angle fractures. Methods and Materials Forty patients with facial trauma with mandibular angle fractures including displaced and unfavorable fractures were categorized into two groups of 20 persons. In all patients, one miniplate was placed on the external oblique ridge. In the first group, patients had light maxillomandibular elastic bands just after surgery but no rigid MMF. In the second group, patients had rigid MMF for 2 weeks after surgery. Patients were followed to evaluate complications and treatment efficiency. Conclusions Our study showed that use of a single miniplate in the external oblique ridge is a functionally stable treatment for all types of angle fractures (including displaced and unfavorable fractures) except comminuted and long oblique fractures, which were not included in our study. Use of postoperative MMF did not improve the results.

Abstract Objective: To compare the outcomes of intraoral versus extraoral approach in the treatment of mandibular angle fracture. Method: The randomised controlled trail was conducted at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore Pakistan, from September 2016 to March 2017, and comprised patients of mandibular angle fracture who were divided into two equal extraoral group A and intraoral group B. . Baseline and post-operative data on 1st and 7th days as well as 3 months following the surgery was collected. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 100 patients, there were 50(50%) in each of the two groups. Mean age of group A was 32.28±7.79 years compared to 33.72±8.13 years in group B. There were 39 (78%) males in group A and 36(72%) in group B. The mean pain score at baseline in the groups was not significantly different (p=0.795). On the 7th day and 3 months post-operation, mean pain score was significantly lower in group A (p=0.002). Nerve complication in group A was significantly high compared to group A (p=0.005). Conclusion: Extra oral approach for the management of mandibular angle fracture is better with regards to pain while intra-oral approach is less associated with nerve complications.

Background: Angle mandibular fractures are among the most common traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial region. The optimal treatment modality for angle fractures remains controversial. The present study was designed to describe the clinical and radiographic features of patients who had suffered mandibular angle fractures and evaluate the postoperative outcome in patients treated for the Champy’s technique. Materials and methods: 32 patients with 32 fractures of the mandibular angle were treated by the Champy’s technique at the department of maxillo facial surgery of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy and Hue Central Hospital, from April 2018 to February 2019. Evaluating of results when patients were discharged from hospital, 3 and 6 months after surgery. Results: The majority of the patients were males (84.4%). The majority of angle fractures have unfavorable fractures (96.9%) and displaced fractures (68.7%). The most common symptoms were pain, throbbing pain, mouth limited opening, swelling, malocclusion. Panoramic radiographs plays an important role in diagnosis (96.9). The patients were treated successfully according to Champy’s principle of osteosynthesis. Conclusions: The Michelet – Champy’s technique for surgical treatment of mandibular angle fractures was simple, easy to use, had high success rates and few complications. Key words: mandibular angle fracture, Champy’s technique
