Abstract
Aim: was to compare between single versus two mini plates in parasympheal and sympheal fracture.
Materials and Methods: 50 patients were randomly selected with age distribution from 18 years to 60 years with ASA 1 and 2. They were divided into two groups 25 each. In one group single 6 holeminiplate was used at the inferior border and arch bar was used as a tension band. In the second group 6 hole min iplate and 4 hole were for fixation.
Results: In group 1 that is single miniplate patients only 1 patient needed imf as there was mobility across the fragments after two weeks. Rest of the patients healed quite well. In group 2 all patients there was good bony union without any complications.
Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference. P>1.
