Abstract
This paper presents the results of the treatment of fractures of the mandibular angle using miniplate osteosynthesis. From 1984 to 1993 347 patients with 358 fractures were operated in the department of Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Cologne. In all cases total bone healing could be observed while complications were rare.
