As part of this commitment, this textbook is in open access to help ensure widest possible dissemination to readers across the world. ; Open access Unique presentation with contents divided into color-coded core competency gradations Covers all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery Supplemented with videos of all commonly carried out procedures as operative video Every chapter or topic concludes with "future perspective" and addresses cutting edge advances in each area Every topic has a pull out box that provides the most relevant systematic reviews/ key articles to every topic.

The atlas format of Craniomaxiollofacial Fracturesclearly shows how to manage fractures to the head, face and jaw bones with rigid internal fixation. All fractures, from the simple to the most complex, are covered. The book is ideal for physicians from various specialties who diagnose, treat or refer craniomaxillofacial trauma. It describes for the first time the classical fracture types most commonly encountered and their representations by standard radiographs and diagrams. The AO system is prominently featured throughout the atlas.

James Ferraro, President of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons, presents this comprehensive volume, based on the Societys annual courses. He brings together top names in the field to cover the anatomy and basic techniques of both the hard and soft tissue elements. While serving as an ideal introduction for residents this also makes for a subject review and "refresher course" for more experienced surgeons. Over 300 exclusive line drawings accompany discussions of embryology of the head and neck; oral, head and neck anatomy; basic principles of bone fixation; and traumatic deformities and fractures of the mandible, mid and upper face.

The editors have assembled an international, multidisciplinary group of experts to contribute to this book. The authors prove the basic concepts and the state of the art knowledge of rigid fixation techniques as applied to surgery of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton, that is, to all major areas of facial skeletal surgery, post-traumatic, orthognathic, craniofacial and postablative reconstruction. The specific applications are of rigid fixation techniques to both upper and lower facial skeleton, trauma, orthognathic surgery, craniofacial and tumor surgery.
