Craniofacial fractures. An algorithm to optimize results

Clin Plast Surg. 1992 Jan;19(1):195-206.

Abstract

The aim of treatment of combined injuries of the cranium and face is the correct anatomic restoration of the maxilla in relation to the cranial base above and the mandible below and the reconstruction of any associated craniofacial, naso-orbitoethmoidal, and zygomatic fractures. The plethora of techniques described in this article for the management of these injuries attests to the controversy and confusion surrounding the management of these patients.
