[Assessment of surgical-orthopaedic management in craniofacial injuries complicated with nasal liquorrhoea]. / Ocena postepowania chirurgiczno-ortopedycznego w obrazeniach twarzowoczaszkowych powiklanych plynotokiem nosowym.

On the basis of experiences during 10 years with the cooperation of the departments of neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgery in the Province Hospital in Rzeszów the methods of surgical-orthopaedic management were assessed in craniofacial injuries. Out of 95 cases of craniofacial injuries treated in the years 1976-1985, in 42 cases (44.2%) nasal liquorrohea was present. For immobilization of the maxillary block in 32 cases Federspiel's traction was used, and in 5 cases interosseous binding of Adams. In 6 cases intermaxillary immobilization was applied. In this group of 42 cases of craniofacial injuries complicated with liquorrhoea in 24 (57.1%) liquorrhoea was stopped.
