Abstract---Background: Condylar fractures account for one third of
all mandibular fractures being in the range of 17.5–52%1, 2 of all
mandibular fractures. The main goal in the treatment of condylar
fractures is to predictably restore pre-injury anatomical form, with
associated aesthetics and function. Aim: The aim of this study is to
assess the efficacy and stability of single 3-D trapezoidal condylar
plate and compare it with 2.0mm conventional miniplates in the Open
Reduction and Internal Fixation of mandibular sub-condylar
fractures. Methods: This study was conducted on 20 patients with
subcondylar fracture.10 patients were allotted by random sampling in
each Group. 3-D trapezoidal condylar plates were used in Group A
and 2.0mm conventional minplates were used in Group B. The mini
