Abstract
Transverse lag screw osteosynthesis of the midline mandibulotomy is a rapidly performed technique that results in reestablishment of mandibular integrity and avoids placement of hardware directly beneath a suture line. We have performed transverse lag screw osteosynthesis in four patients over the past 14 months. All patients received postoperative radiotherapy. Soft-tissue and bone healing have been uneventful.
