[Transjugal osteosynthesis by compression miniscrew in sagittal ramus osteotomy].

The transjugal osteosynthesis technique of the Obwegeser-Dalpont type is used for treatment by sagittal osteotomy of ascending rami. The material used is a direct compression mini-screw derived from that described by Michelet-Champy. Principles underlying all types of osteosynthesis (rigidity, solidity, miniaturization, according to the authors) are discussed and advantages and inconveniences of their material compared with those of other existing procedures. Two clinical cases are presented as an illustration.
