Abstract
Every operation has a beginning and an end, and at some point we have to ask ourselves “is this right? Can I now start to close?” Although precise anatomical repair of an injury is often self-evident, this may not be easily determined in every case. Furthermore, not every fracture may need to be fully exposed. The entire fracture pattern of a zygoma, for instance, is rarely exposed along its entire length. So what else can we use to guide us?
For a more detailed review of this topic see Atlas of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery by M Perry and S Holmes.
