Delayed Reconstruction of Frontofacial Defects and Deformations

  • Chapter
Craniofacial Trauma

Abstract

Specific problems arise during the delayed reconstruction of posttraumatic craniofacial defects and deformations, which have to be treated for both aesthetic and functional reasons (Evans et al. 1985; Manson et al. 1986; Merten and Luhr 1994; Kuttenberger et al. 1996; Sullivan and Manson 1998).
