Abstract
The peculiar anatomy, muscular attachment, and thickness of cortical plate which is interposed between the thicker tooth‑bearing mandibular body and the thinner ascending ramus in addition to the presence of the third molar makes the angle region of the mandible irreplaceable. Innumerable treatment modalities have been proposed for mandibular angle fractures; although the ideal modality remains controversial. The choice of fixation in maxillofacial skeleton should be reformed based on the fracture patterns, displacement, stability of segments, and satisfactory postoperative function. However, due to the varied fracture patterns, there arises a need for variation in fixation devices and their localization. We put forth a case of a mandibular angle fracture displaying a unique fracture pattern and its management along with a brief review and update pertaining to the way mandibular angle fractures should be managed
