Lag screw fixation of mandibular angle fractures

Complications and Reoperations in Mandibular Angle Fractures

“…The overall rate of major complications from 135 patients in our study was 17.2%, which is within the range of 0% to 32% documented in other well-established studies . Both the rate of minor complications and major complications was higher for the transoral group compared with the transcervical group, although neither of these outcomes reached statistical significance.…”

This finding is in agreement with Toma et al, 21 who found no difference in complications between the transoral and transcervical approach in 78 patients with angle, body, and ramus fractures.…”

Evaluation of osteosynthesis of miniplate versus lag screw in management of mandibular angle fracture - A comparative study

“…et al lag screw fixation is the best means of providing compression and load sharing across the fracture site because all fixation forces are directed across the long axis of screw and there is no metal to metal friction points, lag screws obtain and retain stability better than any other mode of fracture fixation. 7 In the study done by Ellis E et al the time needed to place lag screw is less as compared to plate, according to them fixation of screw is much faster than the adapting and securing the bone plate at fracture site. 8 In our study mean duration of fixation in group 1(miniplate group) was 18.46 min and in group 2 (lag screw group) mean duration of fixation was 11.46 minutes.…”

Three-dimensional versus standard miniplate, lag screws versus miniplates, locking plate versus non-locking miniplates: Management of mandibular fractures, a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The geometry of 3D plates conceptually allows for stability in three dimensions, and resistance against torque forces while maintaining a low profile and malleability 15 . The major advantages of the lag-screw technique are that it can be applied more rapidly without decreasing rigidity and that it allows a more anatomically accurate reduction 16 . The locking screw plate system reduces compressive forces between the undersurface of the plate and lateral bony cortex compared to a conventional mandibular plate.…”
