  • Title: One miniplate versus two in the management of mandibular angle fractures: a prospective randomised study.
    Author: Siddiqui A, Markose G, Moos KF, McMahon J, Ayoub AF.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2007 Apr; 45(3):223-5. PubMed ID: 17110006.
    Abstract:
    We compared the use of one miniplate (n=36) with that of two miniplates (n=26) for the treatment of the mandibular angle in a randomised trial. There were no significant differences between the groups in total morbidity (22/36 compared with 14/26) or for individual complications. We conclude that two miniplates seem to confer no extra benefit to patients, but a much larger trial would be required to show this conclusively.
