Posttraumatic Facial Pain
Abstract Treatment of facial pain must distinguish between classic trigeminal neuralgia, due to chronic, intracranial, vascular compression and posttraumatic facial pain due to direct injury to one or more branches…

Abstract The evolution of mandibular fracture complications – infection, delayed union, malunion, nonunion, malocclusion, TMJ disorders, paresthesia, etc. – along with causes – the injury itself, inadequate or inappropriate treatment,…
Abstract Posttraumatic nasal deformity is a complex problem that requires astute preoperative assessment and nasal analysis. A keen knowledge of the normal nasal anatomy and physiology is required to recognize…
Abstract Traumatic injury to the bony midface and mandible is typically accompanied by consequent disruption of normal occlusion. While this is optimally managed in the primary setting, all too often…
Abstract Fractures of the pediatric midface are usually rare and more likely to involve isolated segmental areas such as the nose or orbital–zygomatic complex depending on the age and development…
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…
