Photographs showing the different types of construct failures. Cutting out of the screws (a) was most common in both groups, followed by deformation of the condylar region (b). This deformation of the condylar region can be seen by comparing the position of the distal end of the plate in relation to the joint line before loading ((b) small picture) and at the end of the testing ((b) big picture). Condylar fracture (c) was only seen once in the group with cement augmented condylar screws
