  • Title: [Lag screw osteosynthesis in median mandibular fractures--technique and outcome].
    Author: Roser M, Ehrenfeld M, Ettlin D, Hammer B.
    Journal: Fortschr Kiefer Gesichtschir; 1996; 41():100-2. PubMed ID: 8755413.
    Abstract:
    The lag screw technique for treatment of simple median and paramedian fractures of the mandible is reemphasized. Major advantages over bone-plate fixation are the rapid application since adapting and bending of a bone plate is obviated as well as the lower costs of the osteosynthesis material. A review of 12 patients with fractures of the anterior mandible who had lag screws placed for fracture treatment showed that it is a successful method of providing rigid internal fixation associated with a low postsurgical complication rate.
