The vertical avulsion flap.
Unilateral vertical tangential maxillofacial trauma may result in a combination of a certain number of charcteristic lesions. Although composed of wounds and fractures in the upper, middle and lower third of the face, this form of injury can be considered to be a separate distinct entity. Two patients are described, illustrating this type of injury. Both also sustained trauma of the ipsilateral shoulder.
