|
This series comprised 4 patients with malunited facial bone fractures treated in the department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Yonsei University Medical Center.
Generally, it might be stated that acute fractures of the facial bones are not a surgical emergency. But it is desirable to institute definitive as soon as possible after injury but not before the general condition of the patient warrants.
The management of deformity due to malunited facial bone fracture are discussd.
The malunion can be managed by osteotomy and realignment of the fragments.
The postoperative results are parallel to severity of trauma and duration from injury to management.
