Case report describes successful management of bilateral mandibular angle fractures in an adolescent male after trauma, implying effective surgical techniques.
Bilateral mandibular angle fractures are uncommon but present a significant challenge in terms of management for maxillofacial surgeons. We present a case of an adolescent male who presented to the emergency department after a road traffic accident with isolated bilateral mandibular angle fractures, with a significant displacement on the left side. The patient was treated using rigid fixation for the more displaced left angle and non-rigid fixation for the right side, which led to a stable reduction without complications.
