Maxillofacial Injuries in Counter Proxy War Posture of the Armed Forces.
Various maxillofacial injuries, sustained in counter insurgency operations in the counter proxy war posture (CPWP) of the Armed Forces in the Kashmir valley are being treated at various maxillofacial surgical centres. ⋯ Proper primary reconstruction (soft tissue and skeletal tissue) of the facial region goes a long way in reducing subsequent disfigurement and morbidity. Improving the structural design of the combat head gear for safety and comfort will go a long way in preventing majority of maxillofacial injuries or can at least reduce the severity of these injuries.
