Stabilization of anterior mandibular fracture using different osteosynthesis devices: perioperative clinical notes

ConclusionThe double lag screw and the single mini-locking plate are the most effective devices for primary bone healing of displaced mandibular symphysis/parasymphysis fractures which is attributed to their enhanced stability. Miniplates and microplates gave functionally well-balanced fixation and were also associated with higher patient convenience due to improved adaptability and relatively lower cost than locking plates. Cost-effectiveness of lag screws in comparison to bone plates is particularly beneficial in low-income countries.
