This paper reported a study on the 3-dimensional deep-learning-based automatic diagnosis of nasal fractures. (1) Background: The nasal bone is the most protuberant feature of the face; therefore, it is highly vulnerable to facial trauma and its fractures are known as the most common facial fractures worldwide. In addition, its adhesion causes rapid deformation, so a clear diagnosis is needed early after fracture onset. (2) Methods: The collected computed tomography images were reconstructed to isotropic voxel data including the whole region of the nasal bone, which are represented in a fixed cubic volume. The configured 3-dimensional input data were then automatically classified by the deep learning of residual neural networks (3D-ResNet34 and ResNet50) with the spatial context information using a single network, whose performance was evaluated by 5-fold cross-validation. (3) Results: The classification of nasal fractures with simple 3D-ResNet34 and ResNet50 networks achieved areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 94.5% and 93.4% for binary classification, respectively, both indicating unprecedented high performance in the task. (4) Conclusions: In this paper, it is presented the possibility of automatic nasal bone fracture diagnosis using a 3-dimensional Resnet-based single classification network and it will improve the diagnostic environment with future research.

Nasal bone fractures are the most common among facial fractures. Usually these are adequately treated with closed reduction and internal and/or external stabilization with splints. However, there are clinical situations where the nasal bones are severely displaced, the nasal septum fractured and displaced, or there are external drape lacerations which preclude the use of nasal splints. If the nasal bones are reducible but unstable we consider them “flail” and in this case transmucosal, endonasal Kirschner wires are used for dorsal support until sufficient healing occurs. The technique is simple, quick, and predictable and causes minimal discomfort to the patients.

Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations, bruises and even fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw as well as injury to the eye. Symptoms are specific to the type of injury that can be either signs of inflammation or changes in facial definition. Facial injuries have the potential to cause temporary deviations in facial delineation to permanent disfigurement of facial structures.

Introdução: Os ossos nasais são os mais proeminentes do esqueleto facial, tornando esses os mais frequentes nas fraturas faciais, sendo o terceiro osso mais comumente fraturado do esqueleto humano. Objetivo: Apresentar um relato de caso de fratura nasal em um paciente pediatrico tratado com redução incruenta. Método: Estudo descritivo com um paciente que apresentou diagnóstico clínico/imaginológico de fratura nasal. Conclusão: O tratamento através de redução incluenta mostrou-se adequado em pacientes pediatricos. A ocorrência de traumatismos e lesões associadas a fraturas nasais reforça a importância de uma abordagem multidisciplinar.Descritores: Fraturas Ósseas; Osso Nasal; Traumatismos Faciais.ReferênciasMa L, Shen SH, Hu P, Wu ZQ.

AbstractOrbital fractures are common in facial trauma and can be a challenge to treat. Understanding anatomy of the orbit, the clinical evaluation, indications for surgery, surgical approaches, complications, and postoperative are essential in providing appropriate treatment for patients who have sustained orbital fractures. In this article, the authors review the diagnostic evaluation, acute management, treatment options, and common complications of orbital fractures, as well as recent advancements in orbital fracture repairs.

After studying this article, the reader will be able to: (1) review the incidence and etiology of mandibular angle fractures; (2) gain an understanding of patient evaluation and general management principles; and (3) discuss indications and available techniques for management of mandibular angle fractures. Angle fractures represent the highest percentage of mandibular fractures. Two of the most common causes of mandibular angle fractures are motor vehicle accidents and assaults or altercations. With any patient who has sustained facial trauma, a thorough history and comprehensive physical examination centering on the head and neck region as well as proper radiological assessment are essential. These elements are fundamental in establishing a diagnosis and developing an appropriate treatment plan for any mandibular fracture.

AbstractThe nasal bones are among the most commonly fractured bones in the facial skeleton. Proper management of nasal trauma acutely is important in minimizing secondary deformities and impaired function with nasal airway obstruction. Septal hematoma, if present, should be drained right away. Acutely closed nasal reduction and limited septoplasty can be performed. Unrecognized septal fracture may play a role in the failure of closed nasal reduction of fractured nasal bones. Complex nasoorbitoethmoid fractures are approached openly and treated with rigid fixation. Primary use of open rhinoplasty in an acute setting is debated, and there are no clearly accepted indications for timing, patient selection, and surgical technique. However, open septorhinoplasty is more commonly used in a delayed fashion to provide definitive correction of any residual cosmetic or functional problems. Recent algorithms provide a systematic approach to nasal trauma and may improve secondary deformity rates following closed reduction.

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Plaster of Paris (POP), thermoplastic splints and self-adhesive padded aluminium splints are the most common splinting methods used after reduction of fractured nasal bones and rhinoplasty. All these methods have their proponents but may have one or more disadvantages in the way of being cumbersome, time-consuming, bulky, conspicuous and expensive. Design A retrospective study at KVG Medical College and Hospital, department of ENT and head and neck surgery. Intervention 94 cases of splinting done for nasal bone fractures and rhinoplasties were included in our study. POP and adhesive aluminium splints were used to stabilize the nasal framework. Results Eleven cases of nondislocated nasal fractures and 10 cases of internal augmentation rhinoplasties were stabilized by aluminium nasal splints. 69 cases of displaced nasal fractures and 4 cases of external rhinoplasties were stabilized by POP splints. Conclusions POP splints give the best stabilization for nasal bone fractures as well as for rhinoplasties but are bulky and conspicuous. Aluminium nasal splints are not bulky and conspicuous but cannot be used for fractures with lacerations and external rhinoplasties.

<p><strong>Objective</strong>: To obtain the epidemiological profile and follow the rehabilitation of patients with buccomaxillofacial trauma attended at a hospital emergency service. <strong>Material and Methods:</strong> The study consisted of the analysis of medical charts, evaluation and follow-up of adult patients, over 18 years of age, in the preoperative and postoperative period from August 2015 to July 2016. Of the 114 charts examined, all had their epidemiological profile evaluated, but only 45 patients underwent a maxillofacial surgical procedure. During the clinical evaluation, post-trauma conditions were recorded before treatment (T1) and 48 hours after surgical treatment (T2). <strong>Results</strong>: The age group most affected by buccomaxillofacial trauma was between 20 and 31 years, especially in the male gender. The mandible and nasal bones were the most affected by trauma. The limitation of mouth opening was the main consequence and the levels of buccal opening before and after treatment of mandible fractures were significantly different. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The profile of patients with facial trauma was composed of men, aged between 21 and 30 years, motorcycle traffic accidents and physical aggression being the predominant causal factors. The facial bones most affected by the trauma were the jaw and the nasal bones. The limitation of mouth opening was a consequence of the trauma of the mandibular region. Immediate treatment of fractures that affected the mandible provided the restoration of the maximum opening, occlusion and homeostasis of the stomatognathic system in the postoperative patients.<br />KEYWORDS<br /> Trauma of head; Traumatology; Fracture fixation.</p><pre> </pre>
