Evaluation of Patient-specific Surgical Stents and Plates for Guided Reduction And Fixation of Mandibular Angle Fractures

Alexandria University14 enrolled

Overview

This study will evaluate the patient specific surgical stent and plate for guided reduction and fixation of mandibular angle fractures.

14 Patients were allocated into 2 groups: Group A underwent reduction using a patient-specific surgical reduction guide generated through virtual surgical planning, whereas Group B underwent conventional manual reduction Follow-up extended to 12 weeks. Clinical parameters included pain, operative time, postoperative occlusion, wound healing and mouth opening. Radiographic evaluation was conducted using computed tomography scans acquired preoperatively and postoperatively ,superimposition of the pre and postoperative models will be done to create error map and measure the accuracy

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Evaluation of accuracy of surgical reduction and fixation

Evaluation of accuracy of surgical guide will be done using slicer and blender, and mimics software with the aid of the preoperative and postoperative CT. Preoperative planning will be merged with the new CT data to identify the accuracy of reduction.

Time frame: Day 1

Secondary Outcomes

Clinical evaluation for Intra-opreative time

Time frame: Intra-opreative
