Decoding Mandibular Angle Fracture Management: Biomechanical Analysis of Different Plating Techniques - An Study.

Objective: The primary rationale of the study is to assess the biomechanical aspects of Champy's, monoplanar, biplanar, and 3D strut plating systems using an model in the management of the angle of mandible fracture.

Methods: Thirty-two hemi-sectioned mandibles ( = 32) were obtained from adult goats and divided into four groups ( = 8) for different plating techniques: monoplanar, biplanar, Champy's, and three-dimensional curved angle strut plating. A customized biomechanical test machine simulated masticatory loads by applying compressive forces.

Evaluation of the Clinical Outcomes of the Berger-Tenenhaus Approach for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Fractures.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes, such as duration of surgery, ease of surgical access for fixation, injury to branches of the facial nerve, and scar assessment encountered on using the Berger-Tenenhaus approach for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of subcondyle, ramus, angle, and body fractures of mandible.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective clinical study. Patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
