[Corrections after facial trauma. Experiences with secondary periorbital corrections].
Corrective surgery after primary treatment of periorbital trauma is indicated for functional as well as aesthetical reasons. These indications and the over-all results will be discussed, based on 56 cases. Surgical techniques such as osteotomy of the malar bone or correction of the nose will be presented. It is concluded that 60% of the cases achieve a good, final result. In another 30% considerable improvements have been realized.
