Comprehensive chapters on each facial bone injury including protocols for the overall management of each fracture. An extensive section on secondary procedures attempts to improve the final outcome of trauma. A review is included for all new bio materials used in the repair of facial fractures. 750 color prints demonstrate clearly the final results from primary repair and secondary procedures. 250 surgical line illustrations show step-by-step surgical procedures.
