title: [Bone scintiscan of the mandible after tension bolt osteosynthesis of condylar fractures].
abstract: Bone scintiscans were performed in 11 patients with dislocation fractures of the mandibular condyle after reduction of the fractures and fixation of the condyles by tension bolt osteosynthesis. Since the storage of the radioisotope in the bone tissue is directly dependent on the blood circulation, these examinations allow conclusions as to the blood supply of the mandibular condyle head following reduction. No negative effects on blood supply resulting from the operative intervention could be observed.
