ABSTRACT
In an open reduction of the mandibular angle fracture, it is crucial to approximate each fracture segment as closer as possible for the reduction of the healing period. In this case report, we proposed a new technique for the mandibular angle fracture. This was designed to minimize the gap between two separated segments using mini-implants and surgical wires. Mini-implants were placed around the fracture line, followed by wire ligation to minimize the fracture gap. And then internal fixation was easily employed with plates and screws. The advantages of this technique were reduced time for operation, the promotion of healing, rapid functional recovery, and few complications.
