Prospective study of treatment outcomes with lag screw versus Herbert screw fixation in mandibular fractures

The principle of axial compression for better adaptation of fracture segments, with the advantage of increased stability and early function, is a promising means of avoiding the bulky rigid plates used previously. This study was done to compare the treatment outcomes between Herbert screw and lag screw fixation in mandibular fractures. Thirty patients with oblique displaced or undisplaced mandibular fractures requiring open reduction and internal fixation with rigid screw fixation, under general anaesthesia, were included.
