Figure 4

The failure modes. The figures show the failure mode in the two reconstructions; a) conventional reconstruction using a lateral two-screw osteosynthesis; b) jail technique using two lateral screws plus a jail screw. In Figure 4a, a screw was displaced as it cut through the bone. In Figure 4b, the lag screws were bent but no cut-out was observed.
