Craniomaxillofacial Trauma and Reconstruction (CMTR) (ISSN 1943-3883) is the official scientific publication of AO CMF. CMTR is a peer-reviewed, open access journal devoted to the study and the management of craniomaxillofacial conditions, including but not limited to the epidemiology, diagnosis, operative and non-operative management options, surgical techniques, emerging research, basic, translational, and clinical research in regenerative surgery and tissue regeneration, including bone, cartilage and soft tissue repair, evidence-based therapy, and clinical developments. With a multi-disciplinary scope, CMTR features original research, reviews, commentaries, editorials, and technical reports (though other article types will be considered) pertinent to all specialties practicing craniomaxillofacial surgery. The journal promotes communication among oral and maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists/head and neck surgeons, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists/oculoplastic surgeons, and trauma surgeons across the globe by providing an integrated and balanced view of the current clinical science in craniomaxillofacial surgery. All results must be reproducible, and we strongly encourage the inclusion of data, code, and methodological transparency to support reproducibility. CMTR has no restrictions on the maximum length of manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive.
