(1) Background: Mandibular fractures are common, with the condylar process being a frequent site of injury, accounting for 25–45% of cases. This research aims to assess the mechanical suitability of various plates for high-neck condyle fractures. (2) Methods: Polyurethane models mimicking high-neck condyle fractures were utilized in this study. Sixteen distinct plate designs, constructed from titanium sheets, were tested. The figures underwent force assessments on a durability testing apparatus, and the relationship between used force and fracture movement was documented. (3) Results: For high-neck breaking, the two straight plates emerged as the most effective, aligning with established osteosynthesis standards. The second-best plate exhibited nearly half the strength of the gold standard. (4) Conclusions: In response to the aim of this study, considering the mechanical aspects, the double plain plate stands out as the optimal choice for osteosynthesis in cases of high-neck fractures of the mandibular condylar process. In addition, the authors propose the Mechanical Excellence Factor (MEF) as a superior metric for appraising a plate’s mechanical force, surpassing the conventional Plate Design Factor (PDF). |
