[Traction screw osteosynthesis in the treatment of fracture of the angle of mandible (author's transl)].
The application of traction strapping with a single cortical screw in the form of lag screw osteosynthesis has been suggested for the treatment of angular factures of the mandible. This is also possible in those cases where there are other mandibular fractures, whether the molar teeth are present or not. The original occlusion is thereby easily reconstructed. The rehabilitation of the patient is generally possible 8 days postoperatively when the intra-oral stitches are removed.
