title: [Condylar osteosynthesis after Krenkel's technic. The authors' personal experience].
abstract: The paper illustrates the authors' use of surgery to treat condylar fractures using Krenkel's technique which entails a cutaneous incision under the mandibular corner and the application of a clip screw in relation to the longitudinal axis of the upright branch of the jaw. This surgical technique, which is above all indicated in cases of low subcondylar fractures, provides a rigid internal fixation of the fracture stumps, thus preventing intermaxillary lock. Several stages in the operation are described in dental and the intrinsic advantages of this method are then outlined together with the results obtained.
