About this study

Official title: The Effect of (v) Shaped Plate on Occlusion and Condylar Position Compared to Champy Technique in Fixation of Mandibular Angle Fracture (Randomized Clinical Trial)

assessing fixation of mandibular angle fracture using two different mini plates, the standard champy technique and the new V shaped plate with comparing occlusion and condylar position between the two plates.

Read the detailed description

The mandible is one of the most frequent bones of the face that is susceptible to fractures because its prominent position, as it comes in the second place after nasal fractures . Mostly, such fractures are a result of trauma caused by vehicle accidents, physical altercations, industrial accidents, falls, and contact sports, males usually suffer from mandibular fractures more than females.

The angle of the mandible is the most frequent area of the mandible to be fractured after the body, the reasons behind that is the presence of a third molar especially if it was impacted one which weakens the region even more, another reason is the existence of a very thin cross sectional area compared to the anterior parts of the mandible. Most common causes of mandibular angle fractures are motor vehicle collisions and assaults or altercations.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate a novel method which is using a (v) shaped plate in fixation of mandibular angle fracture, The new (v) shaped plate have provided easy reduction and stabilized fixation along both sides of the fracture, as it has two arms that can be easily adjusted over the angle of the mandible covering both lines of osteosynthesis along the superior border and lateral surface of the external oblique ridge using a single plate.

Although champy technique has been proven to be successful way for treating angle fractures with low complication rates it covers only one line of osteosynthesis which is the superior border of external oblique ridge unlike the (v) shaped plate.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular angle fracture using V shaped plateProcedure or surgery

    its a new plate that have been used in fixation of fractures in various areas of the mandible,V shaped plate was used in the treatment of three angle fracture cases which provided the advantage of including both lines of osteosynthesis which are the superior border and the lateral surface of the external oblique ridge using one plate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. proper occlusion

    It's Clinically assessed outcome. Follow up will be carried out immediate post-operative (after1 week), 3months and after 6 months for general clinical assessment of the patient including proper occlusion.

    Measured: 1 week- 3 months and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. condylar position

    C.T scan will be taken post operatively after periods of 1week and 6 months to measure condylar position by specialized (software mimics) C.T superimposition.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular angle fracture using V shaped plate in people with Fractures, Bone, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rasha Tohamy, BSc. (01066534079 ext. +2, rasha.tohamy@dentistry.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

proper occlusion (time frame: 1 week- 3 months and 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06005467, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Aug 2023.
