Management of Mandible Angle Fractures With a Right Angle Drill: Description of Technique

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2021
Abstract Management of mandible angle fractures can be challenging within the confines of the oral cavity where the use of linear instruments may result in structural weakness or malalignment secondary to improper placement. A right angle drill can facilitate a more ergonomic approach, with direct perpendicular placement of the

Treatment Modalities for Mandibular Angle Fractures

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2005
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. More recently,

Mandibular Angle Fractures

Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, 2003
Noncompression monocortical miniplate fixation of the mandibular angle is an accepted and reliable method for providing rigid internal fixation. High complication rates have been reported for internal fixation of angle fractures.To analyze the outcome and complications in cases in which patients were treated with 2-miniplate fixation at the mandibular ...

Mandibular third molars and angle fractures

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2004
The study purpose was to measure associations between mandibular third molar (M3) status/position and risk for angle fracture.We designed a multicenter retrospective cohort study composed of patients who presented for operative management of mandible fractures. The primary predictor variable was M3 (present/absent). The secondary predictor variable was

Biomechanical Analysis of Mandibular Angle Fractures

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2011
Clinical evidence has suggested that minimal fixation can reduce complications of mandibular angle fractures, though no detailed biomechanical model has yet explored this unique and somewhat unexpected finding.The current study uses finite element analysis to biomechanically evaluate different fixation schemes used to fixate mandibular angle fractures.

Treatment methods for fractures of the mandibular angle

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1999
Fractures of the mandibular angle are plagued with the highest rate of complication of all mandibular fractures. Over the past 10 years, various forms of treatment for these fractures were performed on an indigent inner city population. Treatment included: 1) closed reduction or intraoral open reduction and non-rigid fixation; 2) extraoral open ...

A comparison of mandibular angle fracture plating techniques

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 1996
The purpose of this investigation was to compare the conventional technique of mandibular angle fracture plating with two biomechanically dissimilar techniques in their abilities to resist vertical loads similar to masticatory forces.Three groups of five synthetic hemimandibles with simulated fracture repairs were compared for their capabilities to ...

Treatment of Displaced Fractures of the Edentulous Mandibular Angle

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1951
Abstract A method of treating a perplexing oral surgery problem is advocated. The advancement of this method is based on the treatment of more than three hundred fractures of the mandible.

Note on the Angle of Fracture Cleavage

The Journal of Geology, 1928
Fracture cleavage was developed in connection with a fault in massive limestone. The cleavage made nearly the same angle with the vertical that the fault made with the horizontal. Otherwise, the cleavage fractures appeared to have the general character of repeated faults.

Fixation of mandibular angle fractures: clinical studies

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2012
The purpose of this study was to review the literature regarding the evolution of current thoughts on fixation of mandibular angle fractures (MAFs).An electronic search in PubMed was undertaken in August 2012. The titles and abstracts from these results were read to identify studies within the selection criteria.
