Summary
The mandibular coronoid process can be safely used as a "spare part" bone graft for reconstructing complex facial fractures from ballistic trauma. This technique offers a viable option for restoring stability and contour in severe midface injuries.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Ballistic facial trauma results in complex fractures and extensive soft tissue damage.
- Early skeletal fixation is crucial for managing these injuries.
- Debrided bone fragments are often used as grafts, but novel sources are explored.
