Sumario:AIM: The present study was designed to study the feasibility of single miniplate osteosynthesis in the fracture of angle of mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS: in this study 110 patient were included and treated with single miniplate osteosynthesis at upper border along champy's line of osteosynthesis. RESULTS: All the cases were treated successfully, common complications which we have observed in this study, cosmetic disfigurement, delayed union, infection, wound dehiscence and paresthesia. CONCLUSION: Single miniplate fixation in unfavorable fracture is questionable and hence these fracture require some alternative method (locking plate, etc.) for fixation.
