Objective:To investigate the clinical characters and treatments of maxillofacial fractures. Method: A review of 101 maxillofacial fractures was presented with respect to age, sex, cause of fractures, pattern of fractures, treatments and therapeutic effect. Result:The majority of fractures were found in 20-to-50-years-old males. Most fractures happened in summer and the leading causes were traffic accidents. Mandible was the most part of fractures and associated combined injures were found in 31 cases. Rigid internal fixation was the primary treatment. Conclusion:Maxillofacial factures mainly occurred in young adult males and traffic accidents were the main causes. Rigid internal fixation after exact replacement was the primary common treatment.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of bilobed flap in repairing soft tissue defect of nose. Methods A consecutive series of 15 patients in which this reconstruction was performed was reviewed retrospectively, and the results studied 6 months later were evaluated. Results In all patients the results were satisfactory, with excellent cosmesis and function. There were no complications such as infection, necrosis and organ deformation. The satisfaction rate was14/15. Conclusions Bilobed flap has the characters of excellent cosmesis and function, making it an excellent choice of reconstruction of nasal defect.
