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...

This manuscript presents an exploratory evaluation of the challenges and opportunities in scientific research among craniomaxillofacial surgeons in Latin America. It focuses on initiatives introduced by the AO Foundation’s Research and Developm...

Study Design: This is an experimental feasibility study. Objective: The objective was to analyze the potential of open-source freeware (OSF) to train residents in virtual surgical planning (VSP) and compare this workflow with commercially available s...

Objectives: This study aimed to explore nasal fracture patterns, trauma mechanism and intent, treatment approaches, and mortality rates, offering insights for clinical practice and prevention in trauma settings. Design: This retrospective analysis wa...

The purpose of this study was to analyze computer-aided surgical planning (CAS) and margin status following oncological reconstructive surgery of the jaws. A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent microvascular reconstructive sur...

Background: The purpose of the study was to describe proportional condylectomy in patients with condylar hyperplasia using a titanium 3D-printed ultrathin wire mesh cutting guide placed below the planned bone resection. Methods: Eight patients with c...

Study design: Systematic review. Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a possible complication following secondary velopharyngeal insufficiency surgery in patients with repaired cleft palate. Various surgical techniques are used to treat second...

Study design: Systematic review. Objective: This systematic review examines the existing literature concerning the objective and subjective evaluations of osseous genioplasty outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in databases includ...

Study Design: Qualitative analysis study. Introduction: Social media has been pivotal in the dissemination of medical knowledge to the public. The aim was to identify the demographics of individuals posting about cleft lip and palate on YouTube Short...

Study Design: A literature review of relevant publications regarding panfacial fracture sequencing. Objective: To review the current landscape of sequencing of panfacial trauma and propose the utilization of the Major Fragment Theory when conventiona...
