This two-volume set details step-by-step, integrated diagnosis and management of maxillofacial and associated trauma injuries. It goes beyond the surgical management of head and neck trauma, and covers general management of traumatic injuries, systemic evaluation of the trauma patient, and special considerations addressed when dealing with traumatic injury. With over 80 highly respected contributors and nearly 2,000 images to illustrate injuries and their treatment, this comprehensive text provides all of the information necessary to offer the best care possible to the trauma patient. This is an up-to-date, detailed reference text on oral and maxillofacial trauma. The authors explore all aspects of oral and maxillofacial trauma, including the basic principles of trauma, the mechanisms of injury, emergency and delayed treatment and concomitant injuries. The text also describes how trauma can alter the pathophysiology of the injured victim, with a view to enabling the physician to providing optimal care. Six chapters from the first edition have been rewritten and five new chapters added.
