ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study aimed to investigate clinical efficacy of a modified coronal approach in treatment of craniomaxillofacial fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-seven cases of craniomaxillofacial fractures underwent open reduction and rigid internal fixation through modified coronal approach. Clinical follow-up visits were conducted to evaluate facial nerve functional status, temporal shape, appearance restoration, and reduction of fracture and surgical area scars.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>During follow-up period of 6-36 months, appearance and function of all 37 patients recovered well without facial nerve injury and temporal depression deformity. All cases presented hidden scars, except for one case with hypertrophic scar.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Applying modified coronal approach to craniomaxillofacial surgery effectively reduces incidence of temporal depression and facial nerve injury compared with traditional approach. The modified coronal approach produced more subtle scars compared with traditional approach and should be applied to treatment of craniomaxillofacial fractures.</p>
