Treatment of high fracture of the neck of the mandibular condylar processby rigid fixation performed by lag screws: Finite element analysis

Abstract

Background. From 1 to 4 fixing screws can be used clinically for rigid fixation of a mandibular condyle fracture, but contrarily, there is an opinion that insertion of even 3 screws in this region is technically impossible. On the other hand, the application of a single screw is the simplest technique. But if it is rigid?
