Background : The aim of this study was to retrospectively review and analyse the clinical and radiographical differences between surgically and non-surgically treated patients with zygomatic complex fractures over a…
Background and objective: The thin orbital floor is particularly vulnerable during facial trauma. Different surgical procedures and materials have been used for orbital floor reconstruction, with therapeutic results not always…
Background and objectives: Retrobulbar haemorrhage is an uncommon, but potentially devastating complication associated with facial trauma. The rapid increase in orbital pressure can cut off perfusion to vital ocular structures,…
Background and objectives : Oral and maxillofacial surgery is an integral part of the Emergency Department both for the immediate management of injuries that can compromise a patients vision, respiration,…
Background : Zygomatic comples fractures are common. In the UK maxillofacial practice removal of fracture fixation plates is currently undertaken only when attributable symptoms develop. Aim : This study aims…
Background and objectives : Injury scoring systems are useful in assessment, grading and predicting injury severity of the trauma patient. Scoring systems for maxillofacial trauma are however not in popular…
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of reduction and stability of fixation of isolated unilateral zygomatico-maxillary complex (ZMC) fracture without infraorbital rim fixation and…
Objective : The purpose of this study was to assess the craniomaxillofacial injuries managed at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Center (TBRHSC), Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada Study. Design :…
Orbital trauma are frequent complaint. Treatment aims to reconstruct defect, improve functional deficits and restore facial anatomy. Given its complexity and variability, the surgeon must take extreme caution in orbital…
Orbital trauma has an important role on aesthetics and function in the craniofacial area. Due to its complex anatomy; sequels are a permanent risk, thats why this lesion always represents…
When not correctly repaired orbital fractures can result in seriously handicapping functional and aesthetic complications, such as visual impairment, diplopia and enophtalmos. Several studies have shown that an increase in…
Objective / hypothesis : The aim of this investigation was to evaluate and compare the biomechanical stability of the monoplanar strut and Champy techniques for the repair of mandibular angle…
Introduction : Although methods for classifying facial fractures have been extensively described in the literature, corresponding classification systems for Major Maxillofacial Wounds (MMW) are few. We present our primary results…
The aim of the present study was to analyse the patterns and treatment modalities of maxillofacial fractures treated surgically during the last decade at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of…
Aim : This retrospective study was done to analyse the management of zygomatic complex fractures necessitating surgical intervention in two of the largest tertiary care hospital of the Indian Armed…
The objective of this presentation is to compare results and analyse the aspects that should be considered when choosing dental and skeletal devices to improve results in treating maxillofacial trauma….
Many preventing methods are being developed to decrease facial fractures, and they proved to be effective. It can be seen, specially in Europe, that panfacial fractures are not as common…
Aim : The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiologically the use of high porous polyethylene (Medpor) for reconstruction of post-traumatic orbital roof and floor defects. Patients…
Background : The sequelaes of treatment for maxillofacial fractures are commonly associated to great morbidity, lost of function and aesthetics compromise among others that is why is important to understand…
Background : In Chile maxillofacial trauma has increased its prevalence and complexity in the last years, being the third cause of death in young population between the second and fourth…
