Among the 20 studies in Mandibular Fractures by Cairo University, from their registry updates:
the goal of this clinical trial is to compare two methods of fixing fractures in the front part of the jaw (mandible): second-generation Herbert screws and 3-dimensional miniplates.
Importance:
Choosing the right fixation method is crucial for proper bone healing after a jaw fracture.
Participants:
Patients with recent anterior mandibular fractures requiring surgery.
Key Findings:
The study assessed which method better maintained bone density around the fracture, indicating potential benefits for healing.
Implications:
Understanding the effectiveness of these methods aids healthcare providers in making informed decisions, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Device: headless compression screw
Device: 3D mini plates
•The second-generation Herbert screw has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, offering compression across fracture lines and requiring less surgical exposure.
•Conventional fixation using 3D miniplates has been widely accepted for managing anterior mandibular fractures because of their ability to provide stable three-dimensional support

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Feb 2027, 5 months later.
Of 38 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Mandibular Fractures, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 24. This study's planned 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 38 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 24.
