Comprehensive Treatment and Reconstructive Algorithm for Functional Restoration after Ballistic Facial Injury

Conclusions: Based on our findings, we describe a novel algorithm for function restoration and aesthetic revisions based on injury location. Underlying principles include avoiding early use of reconstruction plates, establishing occlusion early, and aligning bony segments using external fixation. An algorithmic approach to these injuries can improve outcomes.
