Epidemiological and Statistical Study of Facial Traumatic Fractures at Assiut University Trauma Hospital

Facial traumatic fractures represent a significant global and regional health burden that can impair essential functions such as breathing, speaking, and chewing, while carrying substantial functional and psychological consequences. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, causes, anatomical patterns, and clinical outcomes of facial traumatic fractures among patients presenting to the Trauma Hospital of Assiut University Hospitals between January 2025 and December 2028. In this observational study, researchers will systematically extract and review data from emergency admission records, hospital registries, and radiological archives. The collected data will include participant demographics (such as age, sex, residence, and occupation), the primary mechanism of trauma (such as road traffic accidents, falls, and assaults), the use of protective gear (such as seatbelts and helmets), and time intervals before hospital presentation. Imaging studies, including computed tomography (CT) and plain radiographs, will be analyzed to record the specific fracture sites, laterality, and injury complexity. The study will also document concomitant injuries across other body systems, the treatment modalities administered (conservative management versus surgical fixation), post-treatment complications, and length of hospital stay. The findings will help characterize current trauma trends in Upper Egypt to inform injury prevention strategies and assist in hospital resource allocation for maxillofacial trauma care.

Erich Arch Bars, IMF Screws and Hybrid Arch Bars in the Management of Mandibular Fractures

Treatment options of mandibular fractures can be accomplished with either closed treatment or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) refers to any method used to secure the maxilla and mandible in proper dental occlusion. MMF is a standard component of mandibular fracture management essential for closed treatment and commonly used du ring ORIF. Its three main principles are to establish occlusion, provide stability, and immobilize the jaws.

Safety-zone Approach and Facial Nerve Preservation in Transbuccal-accessed Fixation of Mandibular Fractures

The goal of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a safety-zone that is anatomically landmarked on the face of patients with mandibular fractures that are approached transbuccally (through cheek) on postoperative intactness of facial nerve.

Evaluation of Pin Buckle Bone Plates for Management of Anterior Mandibular Fractures

This randomized clinical study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a novel Pin Buckle bone plate compared with conventional two-miniplate fixation for the management of anterior mandibular (symphysis and parasymphysis) fractures. Twenty adult patients requiring open reduction and internal fixation will be randomly allocated into two equal groups. The study group will receive fixation using the Pin Buckle bone plate, while the control group will be treated using conventional titanium miniplates. Clinical outcomes including pain, edema, wound healing, and postoperative complications will be evaluated during the postoperative follow-up period. Radiographic assessment using computed tomography (CT) will be performed immediately after surgery and at 6 months to evaluate bone density. The study seeks to determine whether the Pin Buckle bone plate provides improved postoperative healing and functional outcomes compared with conventional miniplate fixation.

Facial iD Customized Mandible Reconstruction Plates

A retrospective post market follow up to confirm the safety and performance of Stryker's Customized Plates for Mandibular Reconstruction. The study is performed to confirm the product's performance and safety by systematically collecting clinical data on its use.

Stryker Facial iD Universal Plate Configurator: A Retrospective Post Market Follow Up

A retrospective post market follow up to confirm safety and performance of Stryker's Facial iD Universal Plate Configurator (UPC) implants in the clinical setting. The study is performed to confirm the product's performance and safety by systematically collecting clinical data on its use.

Validity of Computed Guided Technology in Proper Placement of Intermaxillary Fixation Screws in Mandibular Fractures

A randomized clinical study that aims to assess the validity of the use of computer guided technique in the proper placement of IMF screws in mandibular fractures

Approaches for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fracture

The condylar region is the most frequent anatomical site for mandibular fractures . Condylar fractures constitute 25.5% to 35.5% of all mandibular fractures. The mandibular condyle fracture is a type of fracture that affects the condyle, which is the knuckle-like projection of the mandible (lower jaw) that articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Fracture Pattern Following Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy With or Without Impacted Third Molars

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the hypothesis that there are none difference in the treatment result of orthognathic surgery on the lower jaw, with interoperative wisdom tooth removal rather than preoperative wisdom tooth removal. In patients with severe dental malocclusion combined with a dentofacial deformity. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference in the degree of complication and the patient's perception, with inter-operative wisdom tooth removal rather than pre-operative wisdom tooth removal. Participants will be will be divided into two groups, with one group having their wisdom teeth removed 6 months before their jaw moving surgery and the other group having their wisdom teeth removed in connection with their jaw moving surgery.
