Comparison of Strengths of Mandibular Angle Fractures Following Different Plate Designs: A Human Cadaver Study.

Study Design: This institutional cross-sectional study using cadaveric mandibles aimed to measure and compare the strengths of three plating designs utilized in osteosynthesis of mandibular angle fractures.

Objective: There have been prior studies on angle fracture fixation though few biomechanical studies on human cadaveric specimen. This study aims to directly compare the biomechanical strength of different plating designs to the mandibular angle fracture using a human cadaveric specimen substrate.
