The versatility of modern therapy in mid-facial trauma

Abstract

Modern trends in the therapy of mid-facial trauma, which include the use of miniplates, wire osteosynthesis, and suspension wiring, bone transplantation from the contra-lateral canine fossa for orbital floor reconstruction, as well as the use of lyophilised dura placed over bony defects, are briefly discussed. The versatility of the combined techniques used in therapy has been illustrated by a case.
