Abstract

This article provides a review of the current technologies available in the preoperative and intraoperative management of complex and secondary maxillofacial trauma reconstruction. These patients present a unique challenge for which the advancement of imaging technologies, patient-specific modeling and implants, and intraoperative imaging and navigation can play an important role to improve their post-treatment outcomes.

Keywords: Computed tomography; Computer-assisted surgery; Craniofacial trauma; Intraoperative imaging; Patient-specific implants; Virtual planning.
