    Abstract:
    The stable osteosynthesis of mandibular fractures with the modified lag screw (Krenkel) has proven superior to conventional lag screws in theoretical models and clinical use. Compared to osteosynthesis with plate systems, the lag screw technique is more difficult to learn for the unexperienced, but the reduction of fragments under compression with a lag screw and the stabilisation of lower jaw rotation with an additional short miniplate in our experience has proven successful in clinical use.
