The evolution of AO/ASIF views on fracture treatment, which has occured within last 50 years, is described in the present paper. In that time AO principles has been changed from mechanical approach to fracture care to methods considering first of all the biological aspects of injury. It has been manifested in invention of new implants of lower affect on bone tissue and emphasizing of soft tissue and atraumatic surgery technique importance. Described changes were based on careful analysis of obtained treatment results, creation of trauma centers collecting the large numbers of trauma patients and on broad experimental researches on bone biology, it's vascularisation and healing as well as on bone pathology.

Purpose: Management of mandibular angle fractures is often challenging and results in the highest complication rate among fractures of the mandible. Optimal treatment for angle fractures remains controversial. Historically, treatment of mandible fractures included intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) along with rigid internal fixation.

AO ASIF Development Clinical Investigation, Davos-Platz, Switzerland.
Once development and mechanical and biological laboratory testing have been completed, new technologies to be used in orthopaedic and trauma surgery must be investigated in humans before they can be used routinely. Prospective clinical investigations with or without randomization to standard treatments conducted according to the current standards and guidelines for Good Clinical Practice must be performed to prove the safety and efficacy of the new device. Furthermore, these tests serve to determine the specific indications, contraindications, tips and tricks as well as the pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Berne, Inselspital, Switzerland.
During the last decade, classic AO/ASIF techniques for internal fixation shifted from direct reduction and rigid fixation to biologic internal fixation using indirect reduction techniques. Biologic internal fixation is characterized by the preservation of bone and soft tissue vascularity and relative rather than absolute mechanical stability. Reduction is achieved by using soft tissue traction while obtaining axial and rotational alignment and the correct length.
