Purpose:The purpose is to provide a contemporary overview of head and neck trauma care.
Audience:The book is written for practitioners of multiple specialties.
Features:This book attempts to cover as much facial trauma care as possible in a contemporary and concise book. The book covers a broad spectrum of topics and attempts to interrelate them as well as possible.
Assessment:Other, more comprehensive books also cover facial trauma. This one compares favorably, except in the area of illustrations and figures, which other books do better.
