Patient-Specific Guides vs. Classical Workflow in Class IV Mandibular Fracture Fixation
Sponsor: Mohamed abdelsalam Gaber elkhouly
Summary
This study aims to overcome the limitations of current, standard approach of mandibular fracture reduction and fixation including improper alignment of segments, malocclusion, nerve affections and related teeth roots injury. The introduction of Computer Aided designing/Computer Aided manufacturing software has provided surgeons with an opportunity to perform virtual manipulations of computed tomography datasets preoperatively and production of corrected mandibular model for plate pre-bending and fabrication of plate locating surgical guide which provide accurate segment reduction and fixation with accurate post-operative occlusion and minimal post-operative complication.

Conditions
Interventions
patient-specific screw holes locating surgical guide and pre-bent plates
Virtual reduction of the fracture will be done, followed by 3D printing of the corrected mandible model. Plates will be pre-bent on the model, then scanned in position to create a surgical guide for accurate screw hole placement during surgery.
2 titanium per-bent mini plates
The fixation will be performed according to established surgical principles for managing class iv mandibular fractures, without patient-specific planning
