This book is full of operative pearls and details 
that are not only instructive for the trainee but a refreshing review for those 
experienced in managing maxillofacial trauma. It is a comprehensive dissertation 
of facial fracture repair and certainly will be valued by anyone who practices 
in the repair of facial fractures. -- Amit Dave Bhrany, MD,

Buttresses are the basis for reduction and repair of craniomaxillofacial 
fractures and are essential for determining the optimal location, for placement 
of reparative plates and screws. Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses: Anatomy and Operative Repair endorses surgical anatomy as a 
basis for operative intervention.

Special Features:

The first book to bring together 
experts in the five surgical areas involved in craniomaxillofacial 
(CMF) reconstruction after trauma: plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, 
otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, ophthalmology, and neurosurgery

Parallels between architecture and CMF anatomy, basic 
biomechanics, and advanced finite analysis depict the distribution of impact and the modern principles 
of operative repair

Algorithms and illustrations, by renowned artist 
William Winn, reinforce a logical sequence of clinical management

Compelling preoperative, intra-operative, and 
postoperative photographs and supplemental text illustrate exemplary repair

From the frontal boss to the lower jaw, this book brings together history, applied surgical anatomy, and operative techniques in the CMF region in a way not seen since the classic by Reed O. Dingman and Paul Natvig in 1964. An educational reference for medical students, residents, fellows, and clinicians, Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses: Anatomy and Operative Repair simplifies board review-and-study.
