    The document discusses lag screws, which were introduced in 1970 for mandibular fracture fixation and work by converting axial tensile stress in the screw into compressive stress on the fracture surface. Lag screws are indicated for symphysis and angle fractures as well as sagittal fractures when there is strong cortical bone and no neurovascular bundles. Advantages include axial compression of fragments, complete adaptation of the fracture surface, low cost, saved time, and easy removal of materials.

    Lag Screw

    Presented by: Yahul Mazfar


    Introduction
    Was introduce in 1970 by Brons and Boering for Mandibular fracture fixation

    This methode is based on the principle that an axial tensile stress within the screw
    is turn into a compressive stress acting on the fracture surface.
    Lag screw mechanism
    Indication for lag screw
    Factor limiting its use are:

    Fracture localization

    Fracture gap pattern

    Regional anatomical situation

    Surgeons/operator
    Indication of lag screw:

    Fracture of symphseal region

    Fracture of angle region

    Spesific fracture types such as sagital fracture

    A typical indication for lag screw fixation fracture in the chin region > strong
    cortical bone > as excellent buttress and no neurovascular bundle
    Advantages of lag screw
    Axial compression of the fragments with complete adaptation of the fracture
    surface

    Low cost

    Save time

    Material can be remove easyly
