The Impact of Intraoperative CT on Decision Making in Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery

Reconstruction of complex injuries and deformities of the facial skeleton requires accurate restoration of three-dimensional anatomic relationships, stable fixation and appropriate post-operative wound healing. Intraoperative assessment is often difficult due to distortion of predictable surgical landmarks, loss of tissue and/or swelling associated with trauma. If the initial reconstruction is not accurate and fails to restore normal craniomaxillofacial relationships, patients may require multiple secondary operations to correct and refine the deformity.
