The intraoral cortical bone screw fixation technique carries many advantages over traditional methods of intermaxillary fixation. Simplicity of the technique, reduction of operative time, and reduction of risk of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis make this an important technique in the armamentarium of busy facial trauma surgeons. Since 1992, 45 mandibular fractures in 29 patients treated with the intraoral cortical bone screw technique for intermaxillary fixation were retrospectively analyzed. At our institution, this technique has become the workhorse method of repairing most mandibular fractures and is associated with minimal complications.
