Locking plate vs 2 mm non-locking titanium plates

Post-operative adverse events and complications (paraesthesia, swelling, segmental mobility) · Adults (16 to 68 years) with mandibular fractures excluding condylar involvement
1 finding from 1 review
  • Interventions for the management of mandibular fractures 2013 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Agarwal 2011: paraesthesia in one participant in the non-locking plate group (resolved by 3 months), none in the locking group; infection rates similar at 6 weeks and 3 months; post-operative swelling in 20% of both…

Requirement for additional (surgical) interventions · Adults (16 to 68 years) with mandibular fractures excluding condylar involvement
1 finding from 1 review
  • Interventions for the management of mandibular fractures 2013 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Only Collins 2004 provided data: 6/122 participants had minor complications (three in each group); five required surgical removal of the locking plates and one post-operative malocclusion was managed with elastic…

Locking plate vs 2 mm non-locking titanium plates

Drop-out rate due to protocol deviation · Adults (16 to 68 years) with mandibular fractures excluding condylar involvement
1 finding from 1 review
  • Interventions for the management of mandibular fractures 2013 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Early premature removal of IMF (from hours up to 2 weeks) was reported in 13 of the 90 participants analysed (Collins 2004); participants released their own IMF or reported that "the wires fell off".

Locking plate vs 2 mm non-locking titanium plates

Restoration of function (functional occlusion; bite force as surrogate) · Adults (16 to 68 years) with mandibular fractures excluding condylar involvement
1 finding from 1 review
  • Interventions for the management of mandibular fractures 2013 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Functional occlusion was achieved in all participants in both intervention groups (Agarwal 2011); the measurement of this outcome was not clearly reported. Bite force was reported as a surrogate/proxy outcome.
