title: Cephalometric analysis for the surgeon.
abstract: A protocol for cephalometric analysis is presented to enable the clinician to evaluate the craniofacial skeleton for surgery. Cephalometric tracing and analysis are described and applied to a clinical case. The three-dimensional cephalometric method and analysis are discussed for application in planning the correction of craniofacial asymmetry.
