ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is to improve proprioceptive awareness of muscle and shape the levels of low muscle tension to maximal muscle relaxation. This case report is about a  24 year paraplegic male who reported with  acute spinal cord injury. Pelvic stabilization and strengthning of the pelvic is focused for the quality of life and performing the daily activities independently with ambulation. Biofeedback  along with  isometric  exercises  have been introduced for the voluntary motor activity facilitation

ABSTRACT
Introduction :  The aim of this study was to compare Farmands 3-dimensional (3D) miniplate  and  Champy's  2-dimensional miniplate fixation in the management of anterior mandibular fractures, to assess the treatment outcomes of two different plating systems and to analyze advantages and disadvantages of one over the other.

Patients and Methods :  20 patients with clinico-radiographically confirmed anterior mandibular fractures were randomly assigned to receive 3D miniplate or 2D miniplate. Patients were followed for 2 months and parameters evaluated were, duration  of operation from incision to closure, pain, swelling, wound healing, infection, segmental mobility, loosening of plate and screw, exposure of plate, post-operative occlusion, lingual splay, radiographic evaluation of reduction and fixation.

Results : 10 patients in each group were treated by 3D miniplate (Group I) and 2D miniplates (Group II). Comparatively less time required for Group I with statistically significant difference (p value 0.000). There was no case of statistically significant post-operative  complication. But in present study results were favourable for Group I. The 3D plate was found to be standard in profile, strong yet malleable, good stability  and require significantly shorter operative time.
​
Conclusion :  Extrapolating to the clinical situation, we would observe that 3D miniplate fixations with four screws, as tested in the study in mandibular anterior fractures, would probably function adequately in stabilizing such fractures, considering that they presented a good  mechanical performance and viable option for fixation of mandibular anterior fractures routinely

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Malignant tumors of the jaws and oral tissues which are metastatic are not common, comprises 1% of malignancies of the oral cavity. Metastatic malignancies in maxillofacial region occur in the mandible more frequently than in the maxilla, and rarely in soft tissues. The most frequent primary sites of malignancy with the potential to metastize in the mandible are, in decreasing order, the breast, lung, kidney, thyroid, prostate ,colon, stomach, skin, testicle, bladder, liver, uterus, and ovary. The purpose of this study is to  present diagnosis and treatment planning of a rare case of metastatic invasive ductal carcinoma involving angle and ramus of the mandible, in a 50 years old female.

Case presentation: The patient was a 50 year old female who came with the chief complaint of pain and swelling over the right side of the face, and paresthesia and numbness of her lower lip. Intraoral examination revealed an ulceroproliferative growth in mandibular right buccal vestibule. Radiographic finding showed  irregular bony destruction. Histopathologic features were suggestive of ductal carcinoma. Clinicopathologic correlation was suggestive of metastatic breast carcinoma of mandible.

Conclusion: This case shows importance of taking complete case history with special attention on past medical history in spite of limitation of clinical and radiological evidence. One must notice the typical symptoms like paresthesia of the lip and chin. Histological examination and past medical history is necessary for confirming the diagnosis of such matastasis .
