Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction, Volume 18, Issue 1

Airway management in maxillofacial trauma is a critical and complex challenge, requiring both secure ventilation and optimal surgical access while minimizing risks to vital structures. This study evaluated the efficacy of submental intubation (SMI) a...

Study design: literature review. Introduction: Irreversible facial paralysis is a chronic condition characterized by an absence of mimetic muscle tone and function. This disruption of facial expressions not only has functional, but also psychological...

The purpose of the present study was to describe the demographic and clinical features of patients having undergone redo surgery for mandibular and/or midfacial fractures and to identify factors that increase the odds of redo surgery. Included were t...

Study design: A retrospective case series. Objective: The management of acute complex maxillofacial trauma is challenging. The intricate maxillofacial anatomy coupled with the significant functional and aesthetic repercussions of traumatic facial inj...

Background: Similar to patients undergoing rhinoplasty, patients undergoing post-Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) nasal reconstruction are concerned with both nasal form and function. Objectives: The objectives were to identify patient, defect, and su...

Background: Osseointegrated implants outside of dental restoration remain an integral area of facial reconstruction in which more outcomes data is needed. We aimed to describe our 13-year experience using osseointegrated implants for orbital, nasal,...

Reconstruction of cranio-maxillofacial defects following ablative surgeries requires a comprehensive approach that balances functional restoration with aesthetic outcomes. Advances in computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology have...

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To (1) assess post-operative quality of life (QOL) and functional outcomes of fibula free flap (FFF) donor sites, (2) examine the incidence of post-operative claw toe deformities (CTDs) following F...

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology of traumatic craniofacial injuries in the U.S. that occur in the context of drugs and/or alcohol. The National Electronic Injury and Surveillance System (NEISS) data...

This document outlines guidelines for the use of three-dimensional virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery, with relevance to data acquisition, clinical diagnosis, data workflow sequencing, and operative considerations. A detailed descripti...
