Abstract

Specific problems arise during the delayed reconstruction of posttraumatic craniofacial defects and deformations, which have to be treated for both aesthetic and functional reasons (Evans et al. 1985; Manson et al. 1986; Merten and Luhr 1994; Kuttenberger et al. 1996; Sullivan and Manson 1998).

  • An anatomically, functionally, and aesthetically correct reconstruction of the craniofacial structures protects the brain from damage and late injuries and avoids secondary neurological disturbances, infections, and stigmatizing disconfiguration.
