Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare transosseous wiring and mini plates in the management of anterior mandibular fractures.
Materials and Methods: A total of 200 participants were included in the study (100 in each Group).Patients in Group A were subjected to transosseous wiring with maxillomandibular fixation. Patients in group B were subjected to miniplate fixation. Patients’ follow up was done on the first, second, fourth, and eighth week for the assessment of infection and malocclusion and were recorded.
Results: In this study, the mean age was 30 years with standard deviation ± 1.62. Sixty percent of the patients were male, and 40% of patients were female. Regarding the infection in the Transosseous wiring group, the postoperative infection was found in 15(15%) patients, and in the Mini plates group, the postoperative infection was found in 4(4%) patients. While malocclusion in Transosseous Group, postoperative malocclusion was found in 10(10%) patients, and mini plates group postoperative malocclusion was found in one patient(1%).
Conclusion: The major operative morbidity proved to be infection followed by a malocclusion. As the rate of infection and malocclusion was found more in transosseous wiring as compare to mini plates, which concludes that Mini plates technique is best than transosseous wiring technique in the management of anterior mandibular fractures.
