title: Single miniplate osteosynthesis in angle fracture.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The present study was designed to study the feasibility of single miniplate osteosynthesis in the fracture of angle of mandible.
  
  
  METHODS
  in this study 110 patient were included and treated with single miniplate osteosynthesis at upper border along champy's line of osteosynthesis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All the cases were treated successfully, common complications which we have observed in this study, cosmetic disfigurement, delayed union, infection, wound dehiscence and paresthesia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Single miniplate fixation in unfavorable fracture is questionable and hence these fracture require some alternative method (locking plate, etc.) for fixation.
