⢠CT is IMAGING OF CHOICE as it defines anatomy and severity of #
better
C l o s e d R e d u c t i o n u n d e r LA â Simple Nasal #,
O p e n R e d u c t i o n u n d e r GA â Open #/Nasal retrusion,
Persistent Deformity
31. Naso-Orbit-Ethmoid #
Marcowitz and Mason
Classification
based on whether the medial canthal
tendons attached the central fragment.
ď Type I injury, - medial canthal tendon
attaches a single-segment central
fragment (A).
ď Type II injury - central fragment is
comminuted, with the medial canthal
tendon attached (B).
ď Type III injury - MCT is separated with
the comminuted central fragment
32. Naso-Orbit-Ethmoid #
⢠Re attachment of MCT significantly impacts the facial function and
appearance.
⢠Transnasal wiring achieved after adequate exposure via coronal
incision, and surgeons needed to drill two (for unilateral injury) or
four holes (for bilateral injury) in medial orbital wall reconstruction,
which must accord to the position where the MCT normally attaches
33. Maxillary Fractures
⢠LeFort I â (Guerin fractures/floating maxilla)
Horizontal #,Oral-located above roots of tooth, Maxillary part- Mobile
⢠LeFort II -Pyramidal Outline, Nasal bone fracture
⢠LeFort III âsuprazygomatic fracture
Complex , Cranio Facial Dissociation, Orbit fracture
Substantial Bleed from Nose or/and Oral cavity
NG tube is contraindicated
37. MANAGEMENT
⢠Open reduction and intermaxillary fixation should be
performed to establish correct occlusion
⢠Followed by rigid fixation at the piriform rims and
zygomaticomaxillary buttress

⢠Trismus- Zygoma impinges on coronoid process
⢠Bone Step Deformity â Zygomatico Frontal suture, Zygomatic arch,

better:
⢠layering of blood in maxillary sinus,
⢠Tripod #,soft tissue air emphysema
⢠Non displaced # - Conservative ;
⢠Displaced # -ORIF
42. Mandibular Fractures

segments.
⢠Inferior Alveolar Nerve trapping.
⢠Cl/F: Malocclusion of teeth, trismus.
⢠Asso. Dental injuries causes bleeding â sublingual hematoma
43.
44. Investigations
⢠OPG Imaging of Choice;
⢠CT images defines Suture lines & segments.
⢠3D reconstruction of fracture helps in surgical planning.
45.
46. Reduction and fixation
1. Closed reduction is done by manual manipulation of the teeth or
gradual reduction by elastic traction done, e.g. simple and undisplaced
fractures can be reduced by closed method.
2. Open reduction is done by direct vision, i.e. by exploration of
fracture (e.g. widely displaced, multiple fractures are reduced by open
method).
47. Orbital Fractures
⢠High force to thin orbital bones â âBlow Outâ Fashion
⢠Floor > Medial wall of orbit often fractured.
⢠Soft tissue emphysema due to Maxillary Sinus involvement.
⢠Muscle Entrapment â Inferior Rectus and Inferior Oblique muscle
involvement â Diplopia, upward gaze restriction in I/L eye.
⢠Globe injuries like corneal abarasion, hyphema, Globe rupture.
⢠Exophthalmos initially followed by enophthalmos after edema settles,
Epistaxis.
⢠Coronal CT useful in defining soft tissue details and fractures.
48.
49. Ocular Injuries
⢠MC cause of monocular blindness
⢠Blunt/ Penetrating/ impalement / MVC Airbag deployment
⢠Asso. with Orbit #- so Ophthal. Consult routine
⢠Usually Missed Blunt trauma asso. Ocular Injuries can be picked in
Ophthal. examn.
⢠VA, Light perception and projection of Injured and Uninjured be
Mandatorily documented.
50. ⢠Cl/F: Orbital pain,visual changes, eno- /exophthalmos, hyphema,
decreased Eye movments
⢠CT scan to assess Soft tissue injury, #, retained foreign Body or
ruptured globe.
⢠Ruptured Globe â Most serious â early evaluation essential.
51. Parotid Injury
⢠UNCOMMON
⢠Need to aptly address to
avoid complication
⢠Parotid Duct injury must be
considered.
⢠Line between Tragus to
Middle of upper lip
⢠Stensonâs Duct 7cm long
⢠Associated with buccal
branch of Facial n. injury.
52. ⢠Massage and induce Salivation or Cannulate papilla in front of
Second Molar
⢠Sialography +/- CT is Highly Sensitive
⢠consensus in the literature that acute parotid injuries should be
explored primarily and the injured structures repaired, if possible
53. Facial Nerve Injury
⢠Facial nerve Injury revealed from
impairement of its physiologic functions :
lacrimation, salivation, and eye closure.
⢠MRI with gadolinium enhancement for
soft tissues
⢠CT is ideal for assessing bony structures
⢠Asso. with temporal bone fractures
(more with Transverse than Longitudinal
#)
⢠Longitudinal is MC 80% Temporal bone
fracture.
⢠GSW/ Penetrating are other causes
54. ⢠Corticosteroids are commonly used as primary therapy or an adjunct
to surgical intervention
⢠nerve repair should be followed, including performance of direct end-
to-end nerve anastomosis (for transected nerves) or interpositional
nerve grafting, whichever can offer tension-free secure connection.
⢠Interposition grafts or cable grafts -with the sural nerve or greater
auricular, or hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis
55.
56. Trigeminal nerve Injury
⢠Signs and symptoms are highly dependent branches affected. V1,
V2, and V3 and their specific branches present chronic and burning
pain to paresthesias and difficulty chewing
⢠inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are the most commonly injured
peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve.
⢠Infraorbital nerve is also susceptible to injury
57. ⢠MRI Imaging of Choice
⢠. Timing of surgery varies by cause
⢠Immediate repair, if Possible OR
⢠Delayed reconstruction, in gross wound contamination, and large soft
tissue defects.
⢠Delayed repairs within 1 week, or when early secondary repair has
started (granulation tissue formation, etc.), also have excellent
prognosis for recovery of sensation
59. Dento alveolar fracture
⢠Any portion of alveolar process involved.
⢠Maligned and displaced teeth.
Cl/f
⢠Soft tissue laceration
⢠Damage to teeth
⢠Alveolar fracture
60. Management
⢠Dentoalveolar fracture requires early reduction and stabilisation or
immobilisation by splinting to adjacent stable teeth.
⢠The wiring techniques are simple and rapid immobilisation of the
alveolar segments utilising the teeth for support is possible:
1. Direct interdental wiring
2. Continuous or multiple loop wiring
3. Arch barsâStabilisation with arch bars give the best form of
immobilisation, though sometimes a simple resin composite splint may
also help
62. Route of feeding after faciomaxillary trauma
and postoperatively
⢠Oro and naso gastric feeding
⢠Cervical pharyngostomy
Alternative feeding method for patients with severe facial trauma
Advantage ânasal and oral cavity can be kept clear of tubes
