3D Custom Plate vs. Standard Plate for Jaw Fracture Fixation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a break in the lower part of your jaw near the joint that is out of place (displaced subcondylar fracture).
- Your age is between 18 and 60 years old.
- The fracture happened less than 2 weeks ago.
- You do not have any serious health problems that could slow healing or make surgery risky.
- You have not had surgery on your jaw before, and there is no other disease or infection at the fracture site.

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 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 of fixing a specific type of jaw fracture (class IV) using surgery. One method uses a custom 3D-printed guide made just for you, while the other uses the standard approach. The goal is to see which leads to better recovery and fewer problems.
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.
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 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.
