The
AOCMF Course—Management of Facial Trauma, is designed to provide the
fundamental knowledge and principles for the treatment of
craniomaxillofacial fractures and their complications.
It is
delivered through a combination of lectures, hands-on practical
exercises including the treatment of mandibular fractures with
miniplates and treatment of other fractures with various methods of
internal fixation as well as small group discussions. The first day
addresses midface fractures, the prevention and treatment of
complications in the midface fracture and defects. The second day
addresses mandibular fracture treatment including diagnostic and
treatment principles.
This course is intended for surgeons,
practitioners, fellows, researchers, and those in surgical training who
are involved in the treatment of facial trauma. It is also for
fully-qualified medical specialists in maxillofacial and orthognathic
surgery and related disciplines, including those that deal with
musculoskeletal head and neck disorders concerning trauma, oncology,
reconstruction, and congenital or acquired deformities of the
craniofacial skeleton.
