Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the treatment outcomes of mixed fixation (Group-1) versus non-rigid fixation (Group-2) in patients with double mandibular fractures by evaluating preoperative and postoperative bite force, occlusal alignment, hardware integrity, and wound healing status.Timepoint: Bite force, occlusal alignment, hardware integrity, wound healing status - a day before surgery, after surgery day-1, after 6 weeks and 3 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objectives: To assess the radiographic alignment of fractures following fixation To assess the functional outcomes post-fixation, including bite force & occlusal stability. To evaluate the complications such as wound infection, wound dehiscence, hardware failure, & neurosensory disturbances following fixation Timepoint: Radiographic alignment of fractures - Preoperative, postoperative day 1, after 3 months Bite force & occlusal stability, Wound infection, wound dehiscence, hardware failure, & neurosensory disturbance - a day before surgery, after surgery day-1, after 6 weeks & 3 months | — |
