Computer-guided plates versus standard plates for jaw fracture repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to fix a broken lower jaw angle: using a standard metal plate (Champy plate) versus a custom-made plate guided by computer imaging. The goal is to see which approach restores jaw function best with fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different ways to hold a broken lower jaw (mandible) in place while it heals. One way uses a small plate with a special extension, and the other uses two standard plates. It may help people with this type of fracture heal better with less surgery.
This trial compares two types of small metal plates used in surgery to fix a broken lower jaw near the chin. The goal is to see which plate holds the bone better and helps you heal.
This trial tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs surgery.
This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
This trial tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
