Prosthetic Facial Reconstruction in a Blast Injury Case

The management of blast and burn injuries to the facial soft tissue and craniomaxillofacial skeleton has been a challenge since the inception of reconstructive plastic surgery. These injuries continue to present complex reconstructive challenges today. While there have been advancements in free tiss...

description The management of blast and burn injuries to the facial soft tissue and craniomaxillofacial skeleton has been a challenge since the inception of reconstructive plastic surgery. These injuries continue to present complex reconstructive challenges today. While there have been advancements in free tissue transfer and vascularized composite allotransplantation, prosthetics have been used successfully since antiquity until the present day. Prosthetics may achieve acceptable coverage without complex surgery or as an adjunct to reconstructive surgery. Here, we report a case of devastating blast injury to the face that has been managed successfully with orbital prosthetics anchored with osseointegrated implants.
