An overview of the use of rigid internal fixation using the AO method for the repair of complex mandibular injuries is presented. The end result of such an approach is the return of the patient as rapidly as possible to his or her normal status with return to normal alimentation, normal mobility of the mandible, normal airway, and normal access to the oral cavity.
