Group 1 patients were treated with single 2.0 mm \u00d7 4 hole linear miniplate along the superior border and Group 2 patients were treated with a 2.0 mm \u00d7 4 hole rectangular grid plate on lateral cortex of mandible. Pain, swelling, occlusion, bite force, maximum inter-incisal opening, intraoperative time, facial nerve injury, fracture stability, and postoperative complications were assessed and compared at regular intervals up to 12 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was no major difference in terms of treatment outcome in both systems and both were equally effective without any statistically significant difference in any of the parameters. None of the patients presented with any of the complications except for postoperative infection which was reported by 1 patient from each group at 3 months postoperatively and were managed
