Comparing two mini-plates for jaw fracture repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw. One plate has a special extension to help align the bone better. The goal is to see which plate works best for a Class III mandibular fracture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw angle. It aims to see which method works better and helps patients heal faster.
This study tests a new type of small metal plate with an extension to help repair a specific type of lower jaw fracture near the chin, so the bone heals faster and more securely.
This study compares two ways to fix a broken jaw (mandibular angle fracture) using metal plates and screws. One method uses a custom 3D-printed guide to help place the screws, while the other is the standard approach. It aims to see which is more accurate and may lead to a better recovery.
This study compares two types of small metal plates used to fix a specific type of jaw fracture (near the joint) during surgery. One plate is made of a special plastic-like material called PEEK, the other is traditional titanium. The goal is to see which works better and causes fewer problems.
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 study compares a custom 3D-printed plate to standard titanium plates for fixing a broken jaw near the joint. It may help if you have a displaced subcondylar fracture that needs surgery.
