| Popis: | A paraskeletal clamp plate (Mennen) offers a novel method of fixation for mandibular fractures. Its application is relatively atraumatic and this together with the minimal disruption to the local blood supply may make this clamp particularly suited to fixation of fractures of the atrophic edentulous jaw. Its use in six such cases is reported. |
