Comparing two plates for fixing a broken lower jaw
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fracture in the front part of your lower jaw, around the chin area.
- You do not have any other facial injuries besides this jaw fracture.
- You do not have a fracture of the jaw joint (condyle) at the same time.

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 metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw angle. It aims to see which method works better and helps patients heal faster.
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.
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 two ways to fix a broken lower jaw using surgery: special screws called Herbert screws or small metal plates (3D miniplates). The goal is to see which method helps the bone heal better.
This study compares two methods of fixing a broken front part of the lower jaw (mandible) using surgery: one uses small plates and screws, the other uses special screws without plates. The goal is to see which method keeps the jaw joint in a better position after healing.
