Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This randomized clinical study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a novel Pin Buckle bone plate compared with conventional two-miniplate fixation for the management of anterior mandibular (symphysis and parasymphysis) fractures. Twenty adult patients requiring open reduction and internal fixation will be randomly allocated into two equal groups. The study group will receive fixation using the Pin Buckle bone plate, while the control group will be treated using conventional titanium miniplates. Clinical outcomes including pain, edema, wound healing, and postoperative complications will be evaluated during the postoperative follow-up period. Radiographic assessment using computed tomography (CT) will be performed immediately after surgery and at 6 months to evaluate bone density. The study seeks to determine whether the Pin Buckle bone plate provides improved postoperative healing and functional outcomes compared with conventional miniplate fixation.
