Abstract

Fracture

Mandibular angle

Miniplate

Osteosynthesis

We compared the use of one miniplate ( n = 36) with that of two miniplates ( n = 26) for the treatment of the mandibular angle in a randomised trial. There were no significant differences between the groups in total morbidity (22/36 compared with 14/26) or for individual complications. We conclude that two miniplates seem to confer no extra benefit to patients, but a much larger trial would be required to show this conclusively.
