Biomechanical optimization of bone plates used in rigid fixation of mandibular symphysis fractures.

PURPOSE: To design and optimize a bone plate for fractures of the mandibular symphysis that will provide maximum fracture stability with minimal implanted volume and patient intrusion. The design will be driven by the unique biomechanics specific to this fracture location. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A f...
