Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction, Volume 18, Issue 3

Background: Genioplasty is a well-established surgical technique for reshaping the chin and enhancing facial harmony. However, conventional fixation methods may present biomechanical and aesthetic limitations. Objective: This study introduces and eva...

Background: This study aims to evaluate the use of the endoscopic transorbital approach for reducing frontal sinus fractures and compare its outcomes with the traditional bicoronal approach. Methods: A retrospective comparative analysis of case studi...

We present a deep learning-based approach for accurate bone segmentation directly from routine T1-weighted MRI scans, with the goal of enabling MRI-only virtual surgical planning in head and neck oncology. Current workflows rely on CT for bone modeli...

Introduction: Maxillary setback in orthognathic surgery has been extensively discussed regarding its effects on bone healing and facial soft tissue profile; however, its impact on upper airway volume remains unclear. Objective: We evaluate the influe...

Jaw in a Day (JIAD) reconstruction provides immediate restoration of mandibular form and function through a single-stage procedure that integrates fibula free flap reconstruction, virtual surgical planning (VSP), immediate dental implant placement, a...

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is common among patients with maxillofacial trauma. Conventional perioperative care recommends complete abstinence. However, abrupt cessation can lead to Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS), negatively impacting psychological...

Auricular avulsion injuries are rare, and microvascular reimplantation is considered the preferred treatment according to current literature. However, when a small skin pedicle is preserved, non-microvascular reattachment techniques may offer compara...

Conducting scientific research in craniomaxillofacial surgery presents distinct challenges, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. This study aimed to assess research interests, barriers, and support needs among surgeons in the region through an an...

Orbitozygomatic fractures represent a complex surgical challenge. Given the urgent need for validated educational tools that surpass traditional learning models, this multicenter study developed and validated a novel synthetic advanced simulation mod...

Study design: Trends in the utilization of Mandibulo-Maxillary Fixation (MMF) are shifting nowadays from tooth-borne devices over specialized screws to hybrid MMF devices. Hybrid MMF devices come in self-made Erich arch bar modifications and commerci...

Study design: The advent of the Matrix Wave^TM System (Depuy-Synthes)—a bone-anchored Mandibulo-Maxillary Fixation (MMF) System—merits closer consideration because of its peculiarities. Objective: This study alludes to two preliminary stag...

Objective: This review aimed to examine and highlight the treatment protocols and optimal duration of antibiotic regimens used in managing maxillofacial space infections of odontogenic origin, along with the associated clinical outcomes. Materials an...

Background: A number of factors might affect survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Nodal status is one of the most important prognosticators affecting survival. Studies have shown that pattern of invasion is an important aspect related to surviva...
