**3. Reconstruction of the mandible and maxilla as secondary phase of post-traumatic missile injuries**

Bone grafting has been used for reconstruction of the mandible as secondary phase of missile war injuries. Sometimes, the situation is more complicated and requires flap surgery; our choice is the Kummoona lateral cervical flap [6] which has been used for the reconstruction of submental area previously subjected to high-velocity bullet injuries with a lot of scars in the submental area, and the lower lip was retracted down by scar with loss of mouth seal. The scar was excised, and the lateral cervical flap was used before 3 months of bone grafting followed by reconstruction of the bone defect by bone graft from iliac crest.

Bone grafting was done successfully for the reconstruction of defect and deformity of the maxilla by shell injuries. Previously, the area was explored and reconstructed by using bone graft from the iliac crest as cortical-cancellous bone after measuring and reshaping it. The margins of bony defect were decorticated, and the graft was successfully fixed with 0.25 mm of soft stainless steel wire; the aim was to restore the esthetic and function of the face.
