A Unique New Text Brings Together History, Surgical Anatomy, and Operative Techniques for Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses

New York, NY, February 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- “Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses: Anatomy and Operative Repair,” just published by Thieme, endorses surgical anatomy as a basis for operative intervention. Buttresses are the basis for reduction and repair of craniomaxillofacial fractures and are essential for determining the optimal location, for placement of reparative plates and screws. This is the first book to bring together the expertise of the five specialties involved in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) reconstruction after trauma - plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, ophthalmology, and neurosurgery.

"There are no facial fracture texts in any of the five specialties that deal with facial injury in this amount of detail; nor do they cover all of the craniofacial areas of modern interest, as does this text." – from Foreword II by Paul M. Manson, MD

““Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses” serves as a bridge, between anatomy (structural, functional, and clinical), patient assessment, and surgical intervention. It will be a great asset to anatomists and surgeons, notably including those in training and in clinical practice, as our work continues in the 21st century.” – from Foreword III by Arthur F. Dalley, Ph.D.

An educational reference for medical students, residents, fellows, and clinicians, “Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses: Anatomy and Operative Repair” simplifies board review-and-study.
