Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction, Volume 13, Issue 4

It has been over a year since the death of Joseph Gruss, MD, and it really does not seem possible that he is not still here [...]

Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery is unique, not only in the breadth and depth of clinical problems treated by practitioners but also because of the inter- and multidisciplinary nature of the care required for patients with congenital, post-ablative,...

The cause of occipital asymmtery can be either extrinsic or intrinsic. Intrinsic causes include lambdoid craniosynsotosis. This condition is generally treated with cranial vault expansion surgery. Extrinsic causes include deformational plagiocephaly,...

Introduction: Orbital floor fractures occur commonly as a result of blunt trauma to the face and periorbital region. Orbital floor fractures with a “trapdoor” component allow both herniation and incarceration of contents through a bone defect into th...

Study Design: Facial contour deformities are a very challenging issue for aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons. Free dermal fat graft is a composite graft used for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the maxillofacial region. The free derma...

Objective: The aim of the systematic review was to analyze the current clinical evidence concerning the use of tissue engineering as a treatment strategy for reconstruction of segmental defects of the mandible and their clinical outcomes using indivi...

Study Design: Mandibular reconstruction is a challenge. Several reconstructive techniques are available, and the individualization of choice for each patient leads to better results and quality of life for the individual. Objective: The aim of this s...

Study Design: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D)-planned maxillary positioning by using computer-assisted design (CAD)/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) splints combined with temporary mandibular fixation in...

Background: The deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) is a large caliber artery which branches laterally from the external iliac artery (EIA), directly opposite the origin of the inferior epigastric artery (IEA). Population variations have been reporte...

Study Design: This is a prospective observational study of 60 consecutive cases with facial scars and contour deformity who underwent structural fat grafting. Objectives: The aim of the present article is to highlight how fat grafting helps to improv...

Study Design: Systematic review of hyaluronic acid (HA)-related complications. Objective: To systematically review all available literature including case reports and case series to identify a pattern for the management of vascular compromise resulti...

Study Design: Inlay cranioplasties following partial craniectomy in tumor or trauma cases and onlay cranioplasties for reconstructions of residual developmental skull anomalies are frequently performed using CAD-CAM techniques. Objective: In this cas...

Study Design: This article was a technical note. Objective: To demonstrate the utilization of virtual surgical planning for surgical splint (VSPSS) fabrication. The VSPSS was used as an intraoperative assisting and guiding tool for reduction and/or f...
