Study Design: Retrospective with follow-up. Objective: This study described the long-term outcomes of patients who received either conservative or surgical treatment for zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. It accounted for the perspectives o...

Study Design: Single-institution retrospective financial analysis. Objective: Trauma care is consistently linked to inadequate reimbursement, posing a significant financial burden for large trauma centers. Data show that declining Medicare reimbursem...

Orbital reconstruction is a complex procedure demanding accurate placement of implants to restore volume and anatomic shape to the orbits. Intra-operative computed-tomography (CT) and rapid-prototype (RP) biomodels have been recently introduced as su...

Study Design: The study was a retrospective cross-sectional database analysis. Objective: Deoxycholic acid (DOC) injections are a novel, in-office procedural alternative to submental liposuction or submentoplasty to address excess submental fat. Post...

Study Design: Face and content validation of a surgical simulation model. Objective: Accidental transection of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) has a reported incidence of up to 7%, determining impo...

Study Design: Retrospective database review. Objective: This study aims to characterize and compare the epidemiological factors of orbital trauma between life stages by utilizing the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), a nationall...

Study Design: Retrospective chart review. Objective: The management of pediatric facial fractures presents distinctive considerations compared to adults. This study aims to provide a unique perspective on the correlations between the mechanism of inj...

Study Design: Prospective pre-post study. Objective: Maxillofacial trauma presenting to the emergency department (ED) are often accompanied with complex concomitant injuries, thereby making thorough diagnosis and treatment plan quite an exacting task...

Study Design: This study presents a review of the evolutionary development in reconstructive orbital surgery over the past 3 decades. Additionally, it proposes the Orbital Assessment Algorithm (OA2) to enhance decision-making for intraorbital reconst...

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: A major risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is advanced age. Ablative surgery combined with microvascular reconstruction has become routine for OSCC. Nevertheless, there is an inter...
