    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Treating combined face and skull dislocations requires a specialized craniofacial team. Primary surgical intervention offers the best functional and esthetic outcomes for these complex injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Neurosurgery
    • Trauma Management

    Background:

    • Combined major dislocations of the face and skull present complex challenges.
    • Optimal treatment necessitates a multidisciplinary craniofacial team approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the principles and techniques for the primary surgical management of combined craniofacial dislocations.
    • To emphasize the importance of preoperative assessment and the benefits of primary intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Preoperative evaluation including clinical and radiological examinations.
    • Primary repair involving cranial and facial reconstruction using a "monobloc bone flap" and rigid external facial frame.
    • Meningeal tear repair with pericranial grafts, cranial base reconstruction with bone grafts, and frontal sinus exclusion.

  • Facial skeleton repair focusing on central reconstruction and internal orbitonasal dislocations, aiming for a self-stabilizing construct with interosseous wires.

    • Main Results:

    • Primary repair achieves superior functional and esthetic results compared to secondary repair.
    • The described surgical technique allows for a self-stabilizing reconstruction without external fixation.
    • Secondary repair involves osteotomies and autogenous bone grafts for malunited fractures.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary surgical intervention by a craniofacial team is crucial for optimal outcomes in combined face and skull dislocations.
    • A systematic approach to cranial and facial reconstruction ensures complete repair and functional restoration.
    • Careful preoperative planning and execution are paramount for successful treatment.
