In a retrospective study on 302 patients, miniplate osteosynthesis (n = 236) and rigid internal fixation (n = 66) in patients with fractures of the mandible were investigated. The total complication rate following miniplate osteosynthesis was 6.5% compared to 12.7% following rigid internal fixation. Additional intermaxillary immobilisation did not avoid postoperative complications. In patients with multiple or comminuted fractures of the mandible, rigid internal fixation demonstrated a lower complication rate compared to miniplate osteosynthesis.
