BACKGROUND: The mandible is the most injured part of the facial skeleton, and 25-40% of mandibular fractures involve the condyle process. The aim of this study is to answer the question of the relationship between screw pullout and/or plate fracture during osteosynthesis.
METHODS: We tested polyurethane models of mandibles whose condylar process was cut (simulating a fracture) and fused using plates and screws.
RESULTS: A total of 672 plates were tested. A total of 25.6% of them were fractured during the test, with most being fractures of the base of the condyle. More screws (81.97%) are pulled out from the ramus than from the condyle-69.15%.
CONCLUSIONS: The gold standard in the osteosynthesis of condylar fractures is two straight plates. Other than these, there is no one-size-fits-all plate for every type of fracture. Plates fixed with fewer screws (smaller plates used in higher-lying fractures) are more likely to result in screw pullout. On the other hand, in plates fixed with more screws, plate fracture is more common.
