Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Facial fractures and deformities encompass alterations of function and esthetics, particularly in serious cases. New technologies have changed our approach toward the treatment of these kinds of facial abnormalities.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, focused on the “Surgical Management of Maxillofacial Fractures and Reconstruction of Facial Deformities”, aims to highlight the latest research, innovative treatment strategies, and multidisciplinary approaches in our field.

With this Special Issue, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of these complex conditions and promote collaboration among researchers and clinicians to underline the best management options reported in the literature.

We invite you to submit original research articles and reviews that align with, but are not limited to, the following themes:

  • Current treatments in trauma and deformity cases of the head and neck region;
  • Insights into the management of reconstructive strategies;
  • Innovations, particularly regarding minimally invasive treatments;
  • New technologies focused on pre-surgical planning and reconstructive planning;
  • Bioengineering in facial treatments and reconstruction;
  • The impact of lifestyle modifications;
  • Future directions in our field.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.
