[Treatment of fractures of the mandibular angle using miniplates attached through the transjugal approach].
We present 114 cases of mandibular angle fractures treated by screwed miniplates placed through a transbuccal incision with transbuccal trochar instrumentation. Usually patients were young men who suffered traffic accidents. The mean hospitalization time was 7 days. 94.5% of the patients healed without incident, no malocclusion complication was observed. Two postoperative hematomas required surgical drainage without healing complication. One non union required removal of the miniplate and maxillo-mandibular immobilization. 2 temporary postoperative hypoaesthesiae were observed. One patient presented a pericoronary infection of a third impacted molar, four months after surgery, but the fracture was healed. The comparison of the results with the others in the literature confirms the reliability of this technique.
