[10 years of maxillofacial traumatology in a hospital center].
The authors describe 315 cases of total maxillo-facial fracture and the conclusions to be drawn from them: --Endobuccal and orthopaedic surgical treatment under general anaesthetic, the osteosynthetic material being perfectly well tolerated: less than 3% having to be removed. --Treatment requiring a careful pre-operative radio-clinical assessment which can never be adequately carried out in an emergency, therefore treatment is delayed (5th and 8th days) except in cases of special emergency (wounds). --Delayed sequelae, bearing in mind the often spectacular lesions, are relatively rare.
