An interventional study of Herbert screw and Lag screw in Mandibular Fractures, sponsored by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-01-22.
Sponsored by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
14 patients having recent anterior mandibular fracture divided into two groups. Group A has 6 patients and treated using Herbert bone screw, and group B has 6 patients and treated using lag screw.
Clinical follow-up was conducted after 24-hours, one, four, six, and twelve weeks. In addition, a radiographic investigation was performed after twelve weeks to estimate the mean bone density across the fracture line.
81 studies on the registry are indexed under Mandibular Fractures; 20 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 12 is below the median of 22 across 62 interventional studies indexed under Mandibular Fractures.

Fracture line exposed through intra-oral approach. bone reduction into proper anatomical occlusion. Application of either lag screw according to Champy's osteosynthesis lines.
Change in bone density
By using digital orthopantomogram bone density was evaluated

Time frame: 24 hours, 1 week , 4 Weeks and 6 weeks
presence of Intra-fragmentary mobility
assessed by bi-manual palpation across the fracture site
Time frame: 24 hours
