About this study
Clinical and Radiographic Assessment of H-shaped Bone Plates in Management of Body and Angle Mandibular Fractures
Read the detailed description
Various miniplate systems have been developed in recent years including three-dimensional miniplate, microplates and bioresorbable plates, their advantages and disadvantages have been extensively compared and studied. To overcome the shortcomings of 3D plating system such as difficulty in adaptation and fixation in fractures involving the mental nerve, a novel Hplate has been designed. Aim: to evaluate H-shaped bone plates in mandibular fracture management clinically and radiographically.
- Being tested
- open reduction and fixation of the fracture, open reduction and fixation of body and angle mandible fracture
- Keywords
- Mandibular body fracture, Mandibular angle fracture, H shape plate

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Postoperative Pain Intensity as Assessed by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 1 and 7 Days Postoperatively
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) consists of a 10-centimeter (cm) line, with two endpoints representing a minimum value of 0 ("no pain") and a maximum value of 10 ("pain as bad as it could possibly be"). Patients rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome (increased pain intensity).
Measured: one to seven days after operation
Postoperative Facial Edema as Measured by the Tape Measuring Test at 1 and 7 Days Postoperatively
Facial swelling is quantified using a flexible tape measure while the patient is seated upright with teeth in occlusion. Measurements are recorded in centimeters (cm) as the sum of two lines connecting four predetermined facial reference points: ear tragus to the corner of the mouth, and gonion to the external canthus of the eye. Changes occurring between the follow-up intervals and baseline will be reported. An increase in the sum of these measurements indicates a worse outcome (increased swelling).
Measured: one to seven days after operation
Proportion of Participants with Stable Fracture Segments as Assessed by Bimanual Digital Manipulation at 1 and 7 Days Postoperatively
Bimanual digital manipulation is performed clinically by the investigator to evaluate the mobility of the bone fracture segments. Fracture segment stability is recorded as a categorical outcome: 1) "Stable" (indicating no movement of fragments, representing a successful/better outcome) or 2) "Nonstable" (indicating the presence of movement, representing a worse outcome).
Measured: one to seven days
Change from Baseline in Radiographic Bone Density at the Fracture Line at 1 and 4 Months Postoperatively
Panoramic radiographs are performed using a digital panoramic machine to evaluate progressive bone healing. Bone density is quantified by measuring the radiographic gray-scale values at the site of the plate over the fracture line using OnDemand software. An increase in gray-scale value over time relative to the immediate postoperative baseline indicates progressive bone healing and successful bone union, representing a better outcome.
Measured: Immediate postoperatively (baseline), 1 month, and 4 months postoperative
