Fifty-two patients with fracture of the mandibular angle were treated by extraoral open reduction and internal fixation using the AO reconstruction bone plate (Synthes, Paoli, PA). None were placed into postsurgical maxillomandibular fixation. Four patients developed early infections requiring incision and drainage (7.5%). One patient required removal of the hardware after the fracture had healed. The use of the AO reconstruction bone plate for fractures of the mandibular angle was found to be very predictable and was associated with a low rate of complications.
52例下颌角骨折患者采用AO重建接骨板（辛迪斯公司，波利，宾夕法尼亚州）经口外切开复位内固定治疗。术后均未行颌间固定。4例患者发生早期感染，需要切开引流（7.5%）。1例患者在骨折愈合后需要取出内固定物。结果发现，AO重建接骨板用于下颌角骨折的治疗效果非常确切，且并发症发生率较低。
