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.
