Abstract
• The region of the angle of the mandible is one of the most frequent sites of fracture in external mandibular trauma. In 14 cases of fracture through the angle region, angled dynamic compression plates inserted through an extraoral route were used to provide rigid internal fixation. This method often obviates the need for intermaxillary fixation and suggests a technically simple technique by which direct and uncompromised healing of angle fractures with good resultant occlusion can be achieved in selected cases. We outline our current technique and the indications and limitations for using angled dynamic compression plates.
