The Role of Primary Bone Grafting in Complex Craniomaxillofacial Trauma

Application of Cranial Bone Grafts for Reconstruction of Maxillofacial Deformities

“…Th e literature has reported clinical observation of minimal to no resorption of the CBG at short-term follow-up (16,17).…”

Sagittal fractures of the palate: A new method of treatment

“…In the mid 1980s, Gruss et al (3,4) and Manson et al (5) advocated extensive plate-and-screw fixation for midfacial fractures. The advantage of this technique was that it maintained midfacial projection, vertical length, and width, while also allowing for early release of intermaxillary fixation.…”

“…As outlined by Gruss et al (3,4), the goal in the treatment of Le Fort fractures is correct anatomic restoration of the maxilla in relation to the cranial base above and the mandible below. The primary vertical buttresses of the face are the two medial buttresses (nasomaxillary buttresses), the two lateral buttresses (zygomaticomaxillary buttresses), and the two posterior buttresses (pterygomaxillary buttresses) of the maxilla.…”

126. Versorgung begleitender Frakturen bei Gesichtsverletzungen

“…Dieses Ziel kann -vor allem bei schweren komplexen Mittelgesichtsfrakturen -nur durch ausgedehnte Exposition der betroffenen Skeletabschnitte mit nachfolgender stabiler Fixation der Fragmente und h~iufig auch einer prim~iren Knochentransplantation erreicht werden [5,6,17]. Wir bevorzugen je nach Lokalisation und AusmaB der kn6chemen Vertetzungen die folgenden operativen Zug~inge (Abb.…”
