Main description:

Now in a long awaited second edition, this groundbreaking atlas of
osteosynthesis in craniomaxillofacial and oral surgery has been fully updated to
reflect new techniques, applications, instruments, and materials. Illustrated in
detailed, highly instructive full-color drawings, the book covers key advances
in craniomaxillofacial and oral surgery, including the use of resorbable plates
and screws, modern techniques of bone distraction, and the advanced treatment of
trauma and congenital deformities. Complete with the relevant anatomy and
biomechanics, physiology of bone repair and fracture healing, and the management
of possible complications, the Atlas of Craniomaxillofacial Osteosynthesis: Microplates, Miniplates, and Screws is a true standard in the field.

Highlights:

• Includes six entirely new chapters on lingual
  hematoma, innovative treatment approaches of condylar neck fractures, the
  application of resorbable plates and screws and the material-specific
  techniques, and alveolar, mandibular, and maxillary bone distraction
  
  
• Features thorough updates on orthognathic,
  craniofacial, and preprosthetic surgery
  
  
• Offers proven treatment approaches by international
  experts who have applied the principles of osteosynthesis in a wide range of
  procedures
  
  
• Presents more than 350 outstanding full-color
  drawings, 70 of them new to this edition, visualizing the relevant anatomy and
  surgical techniques

The second edition of this outstanding atlas is highly recommended as
a how-to guide and surgical reference for all practitioners and trainees who
deal with the challenges of craniomaxillofacial and oral surgery, particularly maxillofacial, oral, and plastic surgeons, as well as neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists.
