Abstract: Facial Trauma, also known as maxillofacial trauma, is a forced to the face. Trauma maxillofacial occurred about 6% of all trauma. Trauma Facial causing fractures facial that happen a lot. Facial fractures occur because of trauma load that is greater than facial bones resistance. Facial fractures are divided into several parts, the nasal bone fracture, fracture zygoma and zygoma arch, maxilla fractures, orbital fractures and fractures of the mandible. With the increase of people’s mobilization and a growing level of transportation, causing accident that led to increased facial trauma. The research objective was to determine the incidence of facial fractures in patients SMF BLU Surgical Hospital Prof. R. D. Kandou the period January 2012 to December 2012. Research method: Retrospective descriptive study of the medical records in SMF BLU Surgical Hospital Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado from January 2012 to December 2012 is used in this paper. Result: Number of patients with facial fractures who were treated at the Surgical SMF period January 2012-December 2012 as many as 156 cases (5.60%) of the total of 2786 treated facial trauma. Most facial fractures age are 20-29 years that is 78 (50.00%), men are more than women that 132 cases (84.62%); most private sector employees work as many as 40 cases (25.64%), the highest in the District Malalayang by 49 cases (31.41%), the most common cause of traffic accidents as many as 82 cases (52.56%), as well as the location of the mandibular bone fracture is the most, 72 cases (39.77%). Conclusion: Trauma face causing facial fractures that went on SMF Surgical Hospital Prof R. D. Kandou still quite high, so it is necessary to continually educate people to avoid the possibility of injury in day-to-day activities. Keywords: facial trauma, facial fractures, facial bones.   Abstrak: Trauma fasial disebut juga trauma maksilofacial adalah trauma akibat ruda paksa terhadap wajah. Trauma maksilofacial terjadi sekitar 6% dari seluruh trauma. Trauma fasial menyebabkan fraktur fasial yang banyak terjadi. Fraktur tulang fasial terjadi karena beban trauma yang lebih besar dari tahanan tulang fasial. Fraktur fasial dibagi menjadi beberapa bagian, yaitu fraktur tulang hidung, fraktur zigoma dan arkus zigoma, fraktur maksila, fraktur orbita dan fraktur mandibula. Dengan peningkatan mobilisasi penduduk serta tingkat transportasi yang berkembang, menyebabkan insiden kecelakaan yang menyebabkan trauma fasial meningkat. Tujuan penelitian adalah Untuk mengetahui angka kejadian penderita fraktur tulang fasial di SMF Bedah BLU RSU Prof. R. D. Kandou periode Januari 2012 sampai Desember 2012. Metode penelitian: metode retrospektif deskriptif melalui penelitian data rekam medik di SMF Bedah BLU RSU Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado periode Januari 2012 sampai Desember 2012. Hasil penelitian: Jumlah penderita fraktur fasial yang dirawat di SMF Bedah periode Januari 2012-Desember 2012 sebanyak 156 kasus (5,60%) dari total 2786 trauma fasial yang dirawat.

PURPOSE OFTHE STUDY: To estimate the proportion and types of ophthalmic injuries in patients with maxillofacial fractures PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients with maxillofacial trauma, who came to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery Government Dental college Thiruvananthapuram from November 2020 to June 2021were included in this study. The information and data collected included age, sex, mechanism of injury, type of maxillofacial fracture and type of ophthalmic injury. RESULTS: Ocular injury was sustained by 209 patients out of which 180 (86.1%) were males and 29(13.9%)were females. The largest age group of patients associated with ophthalmic injuries were 30-39 years. The etiology of facial fractures or ocular injuries showed that road trafc accidents more frequently resulted in ocular injuries 66.5% followed by assault 18.7% and self fall 14.8%. Ophthalmic injuries occurred mostly in association with orbital fractures 33.5% followed by Zygomatico maxillary complex fracture 26.8%and Maxillary sinus fractures 24.4%. Periorbital oedema was the most common ophthalmic injury accounting for 46.4%of cases followed by Periorbital ecchymosis 35.4% and Subconjuntival haemorrhage 17.2%. CONCLUSION: Mid facial trauma commonly causes ophthalmic injuries of varying degrees. Prompt ophthalmic examination of all patients with mid facial trauma is mandatory to prevent any blinding complications

AbstractFacial fractures and soft tissue injuries around the eyes, nose, and mouth can be difficult to manage in the primary setting, but if untreated, the secondary correction of facial trauma is very challenging. Prevention of soft tissue contraction by restoring the skeletal framework is ideal. Staged, individualized camouflage techniques can be effective in improving outcomes.

Abstract Objective Sports-related injuries, such as facial fractures, are potentially debilitating and may lead to long-term functional and aesthetic deficits in a pediatric patient. In this study, we analyze sports-related facial fractures in the urban pediatric population in an effort to characterize patterns of injury and improve management strategies and outcomes. Methods Retrospective chart review was performed for all facial fractures resulting from sports injuries in the pediatric population at a level-1 trauma center (University Hospital, Newark, NJ). Results Seventeen pediatric patients were identified as having sustained a fracture of the facial skeleton due to sports injury. Mean age was 13.9 years old. A total of 29 fractures were identified. Most common fracture sites included the orbit (n = 12), mandible (n = 5), nasal bone (n = 5), and zygomaticomaxillary complex (n = 3). The most common concomitant injuries included skull fracture (n = 3), intracranial hemorrhage (n = 4), and traumatic brain injury (n = 4). One patient was intubated upon arrival to the emergency department. Hospital admission was required in 13 patients, 4 of which were admitted to an intensive care setting. Nine patients required operative intervention. Mean length of hospital stay was 2.4 days. No patients were expired. Conclusions Sports-related facial fractures are potentially debilitating injuries in the pediatric population. Analysis of fracture pattern and concomitant injuries is imperative to develop effective management strategies and prevention techniques.

AbstractZygomaticomaxillary (ZMC) fractures are the second most common facial fractures after nasal bone fractures. The zygoma, with its location and multiple points of articulations, lends itself to both facial structure and esthetics. Secondary ZMC deformities are complications of inadequate primary correction, delayed repair, or lack of repair. Secondary revisions of ZMC aim to correct ZMC displacement and projection and to address orbital discrepancies. Extensive correction involving significant orbital and malar defects requires zygomatic repositioning osteotomies and would greatly benefit from the utilization of virtual surgical planning, intraoperative navigation, and imaging. Minor corrections in malar projection can be corrected by onlay grafting and soft tissue augmentation and resuspension. Isolated or minor orbital corrections can be managed by autogenous or alloplastic material to restore lost orbital volume and anatomy.

Introduction. It is known that the number of patients with phlegmons does not tend to decrease, which can be due to both disease pathomorphosis and changes in the epidemiological features of this pathology. In addition, a significant contribution to the development of the disease makes the characteristics of the comorbidity background. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical and epidemiological aspects of the morbidity of the Perm city population with the maxillofacial area phlegmons. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 137 case reports ofpatients with facial phlegmon was carried out. Results. It is shown that young and middle-aged patients dominated in the age structure of the disease. Phlegmons often localized in 1-2 spaces. In more than half the cases, the phlegmons was in the submandibular space. Among the etiological factors of the disease, the leading place is occupied by gram-positive cocci and their associations. An essential role of anaerobic microflora in the pathogenesis of phlegmons has been established. Microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family play a significant role in the formation of inter-microbial associations in the development of this pathology. Often phlegmons of the maxillofacial region are found in patients with concomitant somatic pathology. With a comorbid component, more frequent detection of microorganism associations is indicated. In addition, such patients enter the hospital much later. Conclusion. Thus, when assessing clinical and epidemiological data, it is shown that the phlegmons of the maxillofacial region occur, as a rule, in young and middle age, and also in the presence of comorbid pathology. A significant contribution to the development of the disease is made by associations of microorganisms, which may include a change in the severity ofpathogenicity factors.

O terço médio da face é funcional e esteticamente importante. De acordo com a classificação Le Fort, existem três níveis mais fracos desta região da face quando traumatizados a partir de uma direção frontal, sendo que os acidentes motociclísticos, atualmente, correspondem a causa de aproximadamente 29% destes traumas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de tratamento cirúrgico de fraturas do tipo Le Fort I e Le Fort II em um paciente de 29 anos de idade, sexo masculino, vítima de acidente motociclístico, atendido no Hospital de Emergência e Trauma Senador Humberto Lucena (João Pessoa – PB). Ao exame físico observou-se mobilidade de maxila, degrau palpável em pilar zigomático e pilar canino, alteração oclusal com leve mordida aberta e degrau em rebordo infraorbitário direito, entretanto o paciente não apresentava nenhuma alteração ocular. Foi solicitada tomografia computadorizada como exame complementar para confirmação do diagnóstico e planejamento cirúrgico, o qual se deu como fratura Le Fort I e Le Fort II no lado direito. O paciente foi submetido à cirurgia sob anestesia geral para fixação dos pilares zigomático e canino através do acesso vestibular maxilar e rebordo infraorbitário através do acesso subciliar. Inicialmente foi feito o bloqueio maxilo – mandibular para a utilização da oclusão como ponto de referência, seguido da redução das fraturas e fixação com placas e parafusos do sistema 2.0. Sob acompanhamento pós – operatório o paciente apresentou retorno da oclusão dentro dos padrões de normalidade, recuperou a projeção da região zigomática fraturada e então recebeu alta.

The understanding and management of craniofacial fractures have evolved through remarkable innovations in high-resolution imaging, surgical and fixation techniques, endoscopy, biomaterials and implants, bone grafting, new and refined classification frameworks, and algorithms for intervention. The concept of facial buttresses first described forty years ago now serves as a guide to reconstruction of the underlying skeleton to re-establish the height, width, and projection of the face. With the advent of 3D computed tomography and intraoperative imaging, surgeons have expanded the armamentarium for surgical planning and navigation, especially beneficial for accurate repair in complex cases. All of these advances have improved patient outcomes and raised expectations for functionally and aesthetically acceptable results. A brief overview of the assessment and management of facial fractures is presented. This review contains 1 figure, 4 tables, and 43 references. Key words: facial fracture, facial trauma, plastic surgery, orbital, maxillofacial, injury, Le Fort, malocclusion, skeletal buttress

<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>
