Objective: To explore the effect of surgical treatment for compound fracture of nasal bone and frontal process of maxilla with endoscopy and small local incision., Method: Twenty-two cases with compound fracture of nasal bone and frontal process of maxilla were treated with surgery, and the postoperative effect were analysed., Result: Twenty-two cases healed well., Conclusion: CT scan and 3D reconstruction before operation can help the diagnosis. Corresponding incision and assisted endoscopy can make good surgical field and achieve surgical success. Rigid internal fixation is also the key for surgical success.

Objective: To study the surgical management of enophthalmos after severe malar maxillary complex fracture., Methods: The X-ray and CT examination were performed before operation to diagnose the orbital fracture and intraorbital tissue displacement. The fractured orbital rim was repositioned intraoperatively, followed by implantation of shaped titanium mesh to rebuild the orbital floor. The Medpor was inserted above the titanium mesh to correct the enophthalmos., Results: From Sept. 2007 to Jan. 2009, 6 cases of enophthalmos after severe malar-maxillary complex fracture were treated. The enophthalmos was corrected or improved obviously in all the patients., Conclusions: The enophthalmos after severe malar-maxillary complex fracture can be corrected or obviously improved. Shaped titanium mesh can be used to rebuild the orbital floor with the Medpor to reconstruct the intraorbital tissue volume.

35 cases with bony malunion following maxillofacial fractures had been treated successfully by orthognathic surgery technique. Mini-titanium plate had been used in the rigid internal fixation. The article introduced the surgical method and discussed some primary principals which should be paid attention during operation.
