Abstract Fractures of the nasoethmoid region with displacement of the medial canthal-bearing segment of the medial orbital wall remain some of the most difficult surgical repairs in facial trauma. Nasoethmoid…
Abstract The advent of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and virtual surgical planning (VSP) has resulted in a transformation in our approach to primary and secondary reconstruction of craniofacial trauma….
Abstract Secondary microvascular surgeries can be subdivided into two categories: those that are part of a planned, multistage reconstruction and those that are the result of an unsuccessful primary reconstruction….
Abstract Correction of secondary deformities of the midface can happen even for the most experienced surgeons due to inadequate reduction. This chapter categorizes the correction of secondary defects based on…
Abstract Secondary traumatic reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) remains a challenging prospect for treating clinicians when attempting to restore function and form of this complex joint which, in its…
