There were increased number of maxillofacial trauma in recent years accompanied by the change in the type and the severity of the injury thus it was necessary to set up new therapeutic concepts. Among many fixation methods, miniplate osteosynthesis, compression osteosynthesis, wire osteosynthesis and so forth were considered. In this paper we are reporting case of the multiple facial bone fracture, which mainly treated with miniplate osteosynthesis and the additionally used craniofacial suspension wire and transpaltal wire. It was concluded that miniplate osteosynthesis was useful in multiple facial bone fractures.

1980년 일리자로프가 하지에서의 골 신장술을 발표한 이래 수많은 외과 의사들이 임상연구와 발표를 거듭해 현재의 골 신장술을 이루었다. 악골에서 골 신장술의 적용은 1992년 8명의 악골 기형 환아에게 하악지 신장술을 적용한 맥카시의 발표를 기점으로 시작되었다. 골 신장술의 장점은 부족한 골조직과 함께 주변 연조직을 신장시키는 것으로 복합적 조직 결손을 보이는 선천성 악골 기형 환자들에게 특히 유리하게 적용시킬 수 있다. 반안모 왜소증은 안면 반측의 상/하악골 및 악관절, 연조직의 저성장 및 결손을 보이는 비교적 흔한 악골 기형이다. 하악지 신장술의 활발한 연구로 이를 이용한 악관절 증상과 안면 비대칭의 해소가 일차적 치료기법으로 선택되고 있다. 연구자들은 악관절 증상과 안면 비대칭을 주소로 내원한 성인 반안모 왜소증 환자에게 상악 및 하악의 동시 골 신장술을 적용하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 발표한다. 상악골의 Le Fort 제1형 골 절단술과 이환측의 하악지 시상분할 골절단술 후에 Molina distractor를 하악지에 적용하고 악간 고정을 통해 동시 신장을 꾀하였다. 수술 기법 및 평가 기법에 대하여 논의하였다.

Panfacial fracture is extremely difficult to manage facial injuries but concomitant injuries and severe complications including facial esthetic and functional problems can make it harder. Thorough evaluation and closed co-work with other specialists is needed when reduction and fixation cannot be achieved quickly. Emergency bony support and soft tissue key suture provide the patients with airway integrity, hard and soft tissue vitality. A systemic treatment plan must be made by 3D CT image. This plan include airway management for surgery, sequence of reduction and fixation, approach method, soft tissue resuspension and reconstruction of lost tissue like inferior orbital wall, zygomaic buttress and soft tissue. From known to unknown structures, accurate reduction and fixation will provide proper occlusion, facial projection, width, hight and function. Consideration about facial retaining ligaments must be given to prevent soft tissue sagging.

The present study was designed to compare morphological and structural relationships between basicranial measurements such as MCF angulation (Ar-SE-ptm), saddle angle (N-S-Ba, N-S-Ar) and facial structures including types of malocclusion. Twenty six children with Class III whose longitudinal headfilms were available from 7 to 12-year-old, and also 26 cross-sectional headfilms at each ages of 8, 9, 10 and 11 with Class I were selected for the investigation. Cephalometric measurements such as Ar-SE-ptm, N-S-Ba, N-S-Ar, N-SE-Ar, SNA, SNB, N-S/PM vert, CP/PM vert, $\underline{1}/FH$ plane, and $N-perp/\underline{1}$ were measured. Morphologic relationships and pattern of changes in facial structures in relation to the changes of MCF and saddle angle in both malocclusion types were analysed statistically employing ANOVA, t-test and Pearson correlation. Results suggest that the MCF rather than the saddle angle in children with Class I and III is more closely related with various facial structures and with their changes. It may be, therefore, suggested that the MCF be one of the biologically meaningful measurements in determining structural relationships between cranial base and facial complex including types of malocclusion. In addition, the MCF and its correlated facial structures in children with Class III, interestingly, showed somewhat marked changes between the ages of 9 and 11.

Purpose: The first objective of this study was to compare the upper midface morpholgy, focusing on the soft tissues, between skeletal Class III maloccusion patients with midfacial depression and the norm. The second objective was to estimate and analyze the change in the upper midface soft tissues following surgical correction with maxillary advancement by Lefort I osteotomy and mandibular setback by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSRO). Methods: The samples consisted of 34 adult patients (15 males and 12 females) with an average age of 21 years, who had severe anteroposterior discrepancy with midfacial depression. These patients had received presurgical orthodontic treatment and surgical treatment which consisted of simultaneous Lefort I osteotomy and BSSRO. Results: The correlation coefficient between changes in maxillary advancement and changes in Or' (soft tissue orbitale) was 0.599 (p < 0.05). Change in maxillary plane angle and vertical change of the maxilla were not correlated with the change in Or' (p < 0.05). The ratio of soft tissue change in Or' to maxillary advancement was 43.57 %, and 81.54 % in Sn. Regression equations between maxillary movement and Or' were devised. The $r^2$ value was 0.476. Conclusions: The majority of measurements in the upper midface in skeletal Class III maloccusions when compared to the norm, showed significant differences. In Class III malocclusion with midfacial depression, maxillary advancement produces soft tissue change in the upper midface.

Satisfactory results were obtained in 90% of all cases after aesthetic facial bone contouring was performed. In these cases. no visible scar on the face resulted by using the bicoronal and intraoral approaches. We experienced eight cases of postoperative complications. Patient selection and preperative planning is very important in achieving superior cosmetic results in facial bone contouring.

Vscularized calvarial bone flaps have been useful tools in the reconstuction of different type of bone defects in craniofacial surgery Vascularized bone transfer are often preferred to nonvascularized bone grafts because nonvascularized bone grafts are less resistant to infection, not as mechanically strong, and do not survive well in a poorly vascularized bed. Potential advantages of vascularized outer table calvarial bone flap include proximity to the operative field, membranous origin similar to that of the facial skeleton, maleability which allows for a variety of shapes and sizes, inconspicous donor sit scar. The following are the case reports of two patients who underwent craniofacial reconstruction suing vascularized outer table calvarial bone flap.

The 234 patients who received treatment of midfacial fractures at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Chonnam University Hospital from Jan. 1, 1992 to Dec. 31, 1996 were analyzed clinicostastically. Results obtained were as follows ; Male predominated over females by a ratio of 5.3 to 1. The frequently developing age groups were first 3rd (25%), 4th (21%) and the 2nd (18%) decade on succession. The peakest month was the August (16%), and May (11%), September (9%), October (9%). When it comes to the reasons for in-patients, traffic accident was predominant to 38%. In the 234 cases of midfacial fractures, zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture was the most by 37%. The most common with injury show that facial laceration marked by 49%, neurologic injury 24%, and mandibular fracture 20% each by each. About the time from injury onset to operation, 55% of cases were less than a week while the others (45%) more than a week. 3 plates were used for operation : 2 for zygoma or maxilla fracture and 3 for zygomatiomaxillary complex fracture. especially 4 for Le Fort I fracture, 5.5 for Le Fort I, II ; I, III ; II, III fracture, 7 for Le Fort I,II,III fracture were used. 20 patients (8%) appealed their complication and the most common was reported as infection. Above results suggest that early diagnosis and treatment of fracture site, systemic condition and associated injuries are necessary, and coorperative treatment with medical department should be performed.
