By confronting the management of condylar fractures, there are two possible treatments, one surgical and other orthopedic. Both present indications, advantages and disadvantages, and even according to the preference of…
Objective: To compare the mandibular fractures resolution treated with different fixation techniques according to socio-economic background of the patients. Patients and methods: Patients presenting single or multiple mandibular fractures located…
Condylar fractures has generated more controversy than other maxillofacial fractures because they relate to the complex anatomy and function of the ATM, and because at present no scientific evidence to…
Racial disparities have been shown to exist in several arenas of health care. The institutional trauma registry at Boston Medical Center was queried to investigate racial injury patterns and outcomes…
There is a very specific group of condyle fracture which associated with fractures of the middle cranial fossa, and in some cases the mandibular condyle can invade cranial fossa, requiring…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of the fractured mandibular condyles which were repositioned after internal fixation by extracorporeal open reduction. The subjects were 19 patients…
Introduction: Trauma in the orbital region can result in considerable facial deformity and can affect vision and the nervous system of the face. Rehabilitation of the patient requires to understand…
Introduction: Bone regeneration in the mandible has been described in the literature after the resection because of several pathologies. This development of new bone seems to occur from the periosteum…

Background: Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is an important cause of severe visual loss following blunt or penetrating head trauma. Following the initial injury, optic nerve swelling within the optic nerve…
Fractures involving frontal sinus may result in long-term complications and sequelae related to the sinus and intracranial, orbital and nasal structures. Incidence varies from 2% to 15% of all facial…
Introduction: Brought about by concerns of the maxillofacial team about waiting times for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures. Aims: Produce data that may support the establishment of…
A fracture through the angle of the mandible is one of the most common maxillofacial injuries. Factors such as the area of biomechanics, thinner bone cross-sectional area and the presence…
Introduction: Frontal sinus fractures present a difficult clinical situation due to the possibility of long-term complications. One form of treatment of such fractures is to obliterate the sinus. There are…
Introduction: The frontal sinus fracture is common among trauma patients, especially in young males. It can involve the anterior and/or posterior wall, with or without involvement of the nasofrontal duct….
