[Residual deformities corrected by combined craniomaxillofacial procedures].
We present a case that have been involved in a severe traffic accident, with the following residual deformities in the Craniomaxillofacial region: Absence of the major part of the frontal bone which had been fractured and its small remained (infected) fragments removed by the neurosurgeons and an open bite, as a result of mal-united jaw fractures, due to inadequate primary treatment because confrontation of more serious and life threatening injuries imposed precedence. The open bite was corrected by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery (Le Fort I and sagittal splitting) and the residual absence of the frontal bone was reconstructed by onlay split rib-grafts. We present the accomplished results.
