In a series of articles spanning 8 years, Ed Ellis reviewed the clinical results of the treatment of 478 mandibular angle fractures managed by eight different techniques. During a series of benchtop investigations employing polyurethane synthetic mandible replicas, Rich Haug investigated the biomechanical behavior of approximately 15 different techniques designed to reconstruct mandibular angle fractures. This article reviews these two series of investigations in an attempt to gain insight into the biomechanical and biological factors that affect the successful reconstruction of mandibular angle fractures. It appears that the current techniques used to reconstruct mandibular angle fractures are sound from the standpoint of biomechanics within a range of forces encountered during clinical function. It also appears that an unsuccessful reconstruction is based on a biological result of a behavioral issue such as noncompliance, substance abuse, and/or nutritional or immune compromise.
在一系列历时8年的文章中，埃德·埃利斯回顾了采用8种不同技术治疗478例下颌角骨折的临床结果。在一系列使用聚氨酯合成下颌骨复制品的台式研究中，里奇·豪格研究了旨在重建下颌角骨折的约15种不同技术的生物力学行为。本文回顾这两个系列的研究，试图深入了解影响下颌角骨折成功重建的生物力学和生物学因素。从临床功能中遇到的一系列力的生物力学角度来看，目前用于重建下颌角骨折的技术似乎是合理的。不成功的重建似乎也是行为问题的生物学结果，如不依从、药物滥用和/或营养或免疫功能受损。
