Abstract

The coronal incision approach to Le Fort III fractures gives excellent exposure for anatomical reduction and internal fixation of the fracture sites. Either an extracranial, or a combined intracranial procedure, is feasible. The exposure obtained not only facilitates the reduction and the fixation but, with the addition of transconjunctival incisions, the patient benefits by not having multiple surgical scars in the face.
