title: [Clinical application of 3D reconstruction in maxillofacial fractures].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the value of 3D reconstructive technique in midfacial fractures,especially its significance in preoperative diagnosis and operation planning of complicated,multiple fractures in midface.
  
  
  METHODS
  To preoperatively scan and reconstruct 47 fracture patients with spiral CT.
  
  
  RESULTS
  38 cases received operation which confirmed the preoperative diagnosis of 3D CT. The conservationed treatment was applied to other 9 patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The 3D reconstruction can reveal the complicated fractures in midface as approximate model, and benefit the selection of the most suitable plan before operation.
