Advances in Craniofacial Trauma

The epidemiology of craniofacial injury has changed significantly due to influences such as the advent of airbags and an increase in the sophistication of civilian weaponization. The emergency management of severe trauma has also evolved, leading to the survival of injuries that would have previously proved fatal. Together, these forces have had a notable impact on the challenges that surgeons treating craniofacial trauma now face.

Evidence-Based Medicine in Facial Trauma

This article provides the reader with a comprehensive review of high-level evidence-based medicine in facial trauma and highlights areas devoid of high-level evidence. The article is organized in the order one might approach a clinical problem: starting with the workup, followed by treatment considerations, operative decisions, and postoperative treatments. Individual injuries are discussed within each section, with an overview of the available high-level clinical evidence. This article not only provides a quick reference for the facial traumatologist, but also allows the reader to identify areas that lack high-level evidence, perhaps motivating future endeavors.
