The main course consider the basal condylar or diacapitular fractures. The aim of the study was to test mechanically all available designs (only 4 of 30 was proper) on polyurethane mandibles using an individually designed clamping system. Methods: Forces required for a 1 mm displacement of fixed fracture fragments and incidents of screw loosening were recorded. Results: It has occured that dedicated plates for fixation are much weaker than set of two straight plates (p &lt; 0.0001). General observation is the bigger plate and more screws, the better rigid stable osteosynthesis of mandibular condyle, however, there are limitations in plates design for high-neck fractures resulted in restricted operation field. Conclusion: Double straight plates occured to be the best mechanical fixation for high-neck fractures of the mandibular condyle. Maybe other existing plates could be used but only after prebending or that fracture required novel dedicated plates design.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma13030592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,27]],"date-time":"2020-01-27T11:41:57Z","timestamp":1580125317000},"page":"592","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Mechanical Evaluation of Titanium Plates for Osteoesynthesis High Neck Condylar Fracture of Mandible"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9897-5003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Zieli\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Medical University of Lodz, 1stGen.
