Craniomaxillofacial Trauma

Craniomaxillofacial trauma often results in complex bony and soft tissue injuries that require prompt and accurate diagnosis to ensure proper treatment. Our Maryland facial trauma surgeons have years of experience yielding optimal results from this complex procedure.

The wide spread use of high-resolution CT scanners and three-dimensional CT formatting has greatly enhanced preoperative bony analysis and planning by providing a life-like simulation of the fractures. In spite of accurate diagnosis and injury analysis, some patients develop long term functional or cosmetic deformities that require additional intervention. Common post-traumatic facial deformities include:

• Soft tissue atrophy
• Post-traumatic enopthalmus
• Post-traumatic telecanthus
• Malar flattening
• Cranial defects

Our Maryland facial trauma surgeons offer innovative approaches to treating these post-traumatic deformities. Combining advanced craniofacial techniques with rapid prototyping technology and stereolithography corrective templates and models are made and used in pre-operative planning and intra-operative design of restorative surgery.
