Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The use of Compression Headless Bone Screws (HBS 2) provides superior fixation stability, enhanced ease of the patient, and reduced postoperative complications compared to conventional fixation methods for oblique mandibular fractures, Para symphysis fractures, and genioplasty. Secondary Hypothesis: Timepoint: Outcome measures will be evaluated at baseline (preoperative), and during follow-up at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Enhances biomechanical stability and compression for faster bone healing. Reduces the need for bulky hardware, and minimizes soft tissue irritation. Reduces postoperative complications like infection, malunion, swelling, wound dehiscence, and limited mouth opening. Offers ease of use and versatility for surgeons, reducing operative times and improving efficiency. Timepoint: 1 st week , 3 months, 6 months | — |
