[Corrective osteotomy of facial skeleton in its post-traumatic deformity]

Osteotomy with reposition of fractured fragments of the facial skeleton is the most effective method of treatment of post-traumatic deformities. In this way it is possible to correct permanently the position of the bones, to restore normal facial features and adequate conditions for the function of the stomatognathic system, respiration and articulation. A condition of success is good early planning of the operation with consideration of the vascularization of bones after osteotomy and effective reposition of bone fragments as well as a narrow slit of the incision for sparing of bone tissue. A condition of healing of the incision is good immobilization of bone fragments.
