OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
studying if using extracorporeal radial shockwave therapy as an adjuvant therapy help in accelerating the bone healing and regeneration in mandibular fractures by comparing it with the standard protocol for fractures fixation by plates and screws.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Patients with age ranges from 18-75 years old. 2- Patients with fresh mandibular fractures (from zero hour till four or five days).
- Patients free of systemic conditions that might affect or interfere with the healing process of bone segments or rather interfere with carrying out the surgical procedure (thyroid condition, rheumatoid arthritis, uncontrolled diabetes and osteoporosis).
Exclusion Criteria1
- Patients out of the specified range group 2- Patients who went previous operations with infection or malunion. 3- Patients with thyroid condition which affects the serum calcium level. 4- Patients with systemic conditions that might affect the bone health (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, uncontrolled diabetes). 5- Patients with heart peacemakers.
