Summary:

This advanced textbook of rigid fixation of the bones of the skull, face and jaws describes the scientific principles and applied techniques for the AO/ASIF system. This comprehensive guide covers such topics as reconstruction and aesthetic considerations. The book will permit the reader to gain a complete appreciation of the broad spectrum of problems in the craniomaxillofacial region that may be addressed by a variety of clinicians with subanatomic specializations. Reconstruction of bone defects related to trauma and tumors are covered. In addition there is comprehensive coverage of corrective bone surgery for developmental and congenital craniomaxillofacial deformities. The book contains a coordinated approach to these problems integrating hard and soft tissue reconstruction with dental implant prosthetics. Both Dr. Prein and Dr. Greenberg have enlisted a strong international authorship, as well as from North America, among the many contributors.
