Abstract
This biomechanical study indicates that for rigid internal fixation of condylar fractures of the mandible, similar to 2 miniplates, the 2 Delta plates (Delta plate with gliding holes and TriLock Delta plate) fulfill the principles of a functional and stable osteosynthesis. Both are able to resist physiologic strains. The locking plate (TriLock Delta condyle trauma plate) has the advantages of greater primary stability and decreased likelihood of screw loosening.
