Although the Austin osteotomy is intrinsically stable, some surgeons use fixation to enhance stability. One form of fixation that may be used for this procedure is the Herbert screw. The author presents a modification of a previously reported technique, and describes it as a five-step process. The advantages and potential disadvantages of the use of the Herbert screw with the presented technique are discussed.
