Treatment of Mandibular Fracture by Two Perpendicular Mini-Plates

Objectives: In open reduction and internal fixation for treatment of mandibular fracture, the type of fixation technique is very important. In this study, we assessed the results of fixation of mandible by two mini-plates perpendicular to each other in the lower border of mandible for fracture treatment.   

Methods: This technique was used in twenty five patients (28 fracture lines). The access to the fractures was via extraoral approach (through existing scars or incisions). The follow up was in a week,two week, one and six months and one year after the surgery regarding the occurrence of malocclusion or infection. 

Results: From the patients who underwent surgery, only one malocclusion and no case of infection was observed.

Conclusions: This method can be used as reliable and efficient method for treatment of mandibular fracture.this method can be used instead of single miniplate or reconstruction plate in clinical situations  that need both intensive fixation and rigidity.
