The Use of 3D Titanium Miniplates in Surgical Treatment of Patients with Condylar Fractures
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of open treatment of mandibular condyle fractures using 3D miniplates. A group of 113 patients has been chosen for evaluation, including 100 men and 13 women. After hospitalization, each patient underwent a 6-month postoperative follow-up. The...

description | The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of open treatment of mandibular condyle fractures using 3D miniplates. A group of 113 patients has been chosen for evaluation, including 100 men and 13 women. After hospitalization, each patient underwent a 6-month postoperative follow-up. The material chosen for the analysis consisted of data collected during the patient’s stay in the hospital as well as the postoperative outpatient care. A single 4-hole Delta Condyle Compression Plate (4-DCCP) was used in 90 out of 113 (79.6%) cases. In 16 out of 113 (14.2%) patients, the Trapezoid Condyle Plate (4-TCP or 9-TCP) was used. The remaining cases required more than one miniplate. No 3D miniplate fractures were found in the study subjects during the analyzed observation period. Loosening of one or more osteosynthesis screws was observed in 4 out of 113 (3.5%) patients. Screw loosening was a complication that did not affect bone healing in any of the patient cases. The conducted research confirms that titanium 3D mini-plates are easy to adjust and take up little space, therefore they can easily be used in cases of mandibular condyle base and lower condyle neck fractures. The stability of the three-dimensional miniplates for osteosynthesis gives very good reliability for the rigid fixation of the fractured mandibular condyle. |
