Book Reviews THE OPERATIVE TREATMENT OF MAX1LLOFACIAL INJURIES SCHUCHARDT, K. & SPIESSL, B. (ed.): Fort- schritte der Kiefer- und Gesichts-Chirur- gie. Band X1X. Die operative Behand- lung tier Verletzungen des Gesiehtsschgi- dels. 2]9 pages, 454 illustrations. Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1975. Price: DM 216.-, Dkr. 580.-. The 79 articIes in this yearbook constitute an exemplary coverage of recent advances in the treatment of maxillofacial injuries and reflect a multiplicity of valuable ex- periences gained from the treatment of thousands of fractures. Special emphasis has been laid on the active surgical approach and the biome- ehanics of osteosynthesis procedures in the treatment of mandibular fractures. Reports of results from compression plate and wire osteosynthesis as well as Kirschner thread and external pin fixation seem to indicate that different methods in the hands of different surgeons all lead to acceptable results. The fractures of the maxillary, zygo- marie and orbital complexes as well as the fronto-basal injuries with associated complications and soft tissue lesions are comprehensively dealt with and supple- mented by the expertise of ENT-surgeons, neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists. This book meets the high standard of German rnaxillofacial traumatology. Lay-out, print- ing and illustrations are of the highest quality. It is greatly to be regretted that only German-reading oral and maxillofacial surgeons will be able to profit from this work.

Volume XX of the "Fortsehritte der Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie" is devoted to the topic of transplantations in the oral and maxillofacial regions.
