Fixation of dicapitular fractures of the mandibular condyle with a headless bone screw

Abstract The fixation of diacapitular fractures of the mandibular condyle utilising a headless cannulated bone screw (Martin HBS® ) is described. An open approach was used with primary fixation of the fracture with a K-wire, over which the cannulated screw was inserted. The method and results are de...
