Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a forthcoming Special Issue entitled "Advances in Facial Trauma Surgery", which will focus on the latest clinical innovations and technological developments in the diagnosis, management, and surgical treatment of facial trauma.
As the field of facial trauma surgery continues to evolve, new diagnostic modalities, intraoperative imaging systems, surgical techniques, and fixation tools are rapidly transforming the way we approach complex injuries. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge clinical practices and translational research that are advancing patient care.
We welcome submissions across a broad spectrum of topics, including:
- Novel diagnostic technologies, such as intraoperative cone-beam CT and real-time surgical navigation
- Innovative surgical instruments and fixation systems, and their clinical evaluation
- Updated treatment protocols and decision-making algorithms for maxillofacial trauma
- Prospective or retrospective clinical studies on outcomes, complications, or comparative techniques
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses focused on evidence-based approaches to facial trauma management
- Emerging technologies and techniques in minimally invasive or patient-specific trauma surgery
Whether you are presenting a novel surgical method, reporting outcomes from clinical research, or synthesizing evidence to inform best practices, we warmly invite you to contribute. This Special Issue seeks to serve as a comprehensive resource for facial trauma surgeons, clinicians, and researchers dedicated to improving care standards and outcomes worldwide.
Be a part of shaping the future of facial trauma surgery. We look forward to your submission!
