title: [Results in the treatment of lateral middle face fractures].
abstract: During 1960-1973, 90 patients with lateral midface fractures were treated at the Rostock University Clinic and Policlinic of Stomatology. 68 patients underwent a clinical and radiographic follow-up examination. The intra-antral operation methods had yielded better results than the extra-oral treatments. To reduce late sequelae which are observed also in patients for whom a surgical approach had not been indicated, the authors recommend an exact diagnostic evaluation of the lateral midface fractures and a close interdisciplinary co-operation of the oral surgeon and the ophthalmologist.
