AbstractThis study aimed to define better the clinical presentation, fracture patterns, and features predictive of associated injuries and need for surgery in pediatric facial trauma patients in an urban setting. Charts of patients 18 years or younger with International Classification of Disease 9th and 10th revision (ICD-9/ICD-10) codes specific for facial fractures (excluding isolated nasal fractures) at NY-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center between 2008 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Of 204 patients, most were referred to the emergency department by a physician's office or self-presented. Children (age 0–6 years) were most likely to have been injured by falls, while more patients 7 to 12 years and 13 to 18 years were injured during sporting activities (p < 0.0001). Roughly half (50.5%) of the patients had a single fracture, and the likelihood of surgery increased with greater numbers of fractures. Older patients with either orbital or mandibular fractures were more likely to undergo surgery than younger ones (p = 0.0048 and p = 0.0053, respectively). Cranial bone fractures, CSF leaks, and intracranial injuries were more common in younger patients (p < 0.0001) than older patients and were more likely after high energy injuries; however, 16.2% of patients sustaining low energy injuries also sustained cranial bone, CSF leak, or intracranial injury. In an urban environment, significant pediatric facial fractures and associated injuries may occur after nonclassic low kinetic energy traumatic events. The age of the patient impacts both the injuries sustained and the treatment rendered. It is essential to maintain a high index of suspicion for associated injuries in all pediatric facial trauma patients.

AbstrakFraktur pada wajah dapat menyebabkan defisit fungsional dan estetika jika tidak ditangani dengan baik. Tatalaksana akut yang tepat dari fraktur wajah harus didasarkan pada evaluasi cepat dan menyeluruh. Keberhasilan rekontruksi wajah merupakan keadaan darurat yang perlu dievaluasi dalam waktu 24 jam dari trauma. Berbagai jenis reduksi dan fiksasi tergantung pada fungsi, lokasi, jenis fraktur, dan usia pasien. Kasus ini diajukan untuk memperlihatkan keberhasilan tatalaksana trauma akut maksilofasial. Dilaporkan seorang laki-laki 37 tahun dengan panfasial fraktur yang dilakukan reduksi dan fiksasi 3 hari setelah trauma dengan pemasangan plat dan sekrup, serta fiksasi mukoginggival kombinasi antara arch bardan quickfix. Reduksi, reposisi dan fiksasi dilakukan setelah edema mukosa hebat disertai kombinasi antara arch bar dan quickfix pada mukoginggival merupakan salah satu alternatif untuk mengurangi risiko perdarahan dan memudahkan reposisi.Kata kunci: fraktur wajah, panfasial fraktur,edema mukosa.Management of Maxillofacial Traumawith Panfacial FractureAbstractFacial fractures can cause functional and aesthetic deficits if not treated properly. Appropriate acute management of facial fractures should be based on a rapid and thorough evaluation. Successful facial reconstruction is an emergency that needs to be evaluated within 24 hours of trauma. Different types of reduction and fixation depend on the function, location, type of fracture, and the age of the patient. This case is presented to demonstrate the success of acute maxillofacial trauma management. Reported a 37-year-old man with a facial fracture who underwent reduction and fixation 3 days after trauma with plate and screw installation, and combination mucogingival fixation between arch bar and quickfix. Reduction, reposition and fixation performed after severe mucosal edema accompanied by a combination of arch bar and quickfix on the mucogingival is an alternative to reduce the risk of bleeding and facilitate repositioning.Keywords: facial fracture, panfacial fracture, mucosal edema.

Facial Fractures

<p class="abstract">Facial trauma occurs in significant proportion of trauma patients requiring prompt diagnosis of fractures and soft tissue injuries with possible emergency intervention. The epidemiology of facial fractures varies with regards to Injury type, severity, and cause depending upon the population studied. The aim of the study was to understand the cause, severity and temporal distribution of facial trauma and aims in focusing on clinical and research priorities for effective treatment and prevention. It was done in the department of otorhinolaryngology at a tertiary health care centre. 100 patients between the age group of 20-60 years of both the sexes were included in the study. Patients were evaluated thoroughly with prime focus on the radiological intervention I.e., Computed tomography and X-ray. Open or closed reduction was carried out depending on the type and site of fracture. Facial fractures were found more commonly in third decade of life. Most of them had a period of hospital stay of an average of 9 days. Open reduction and internal fixation was done in cases of zygoma fractures and closed reduction was done in nasal fractures. Road traffic accidents were reported as commonest cause for facial fractures followed by assault and fall respectively. Males were the common victims. Nasal bones were the foremost fractures followed by zygomatic fractures. Closed reduction was done in nasal bone fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation was done in all cases of zygoma fractures.</p>
