Lag-screw fixation of mandibular parasymphyseal and angle fractures.

Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate clinical and radiologic results after lag-screw fixation (LSF) of mandibular parasymphyseal and angular fractures was performed.

Study Design: Seven angle and 17 parasymphyseal fractures in 23 adult patients with mandibular fractures were treated by transoral reduction and LSF. Clinical and radiologic examinations were undertaken during a 3-month follow-up period

Results: All parasymphyseal fractures and four angular fractures went to good bone union after surgery.
