Maxillofacial Trauma

Dr gurey
Anatomy
• Upper Third
– Frontal bones
• Middle Third
– Zygomas, orbits, maxillae, nasal bones
• Lower Third
– Mandible
Evaluation and Diagnosis
• ABCs
– Airway
– High rate of c-spine fractures if facial trauma
• PE
– scalp, forehead
– Orbits/vision, zygomas, nasal bones, septum, maxillae
– Teeth, mandible, occlusion
– Sensation, facial nerve function
• CT is golden diagnosis
Airway Management
• Posture
• Chin lift or jaw thrust
• Oral airway
• Nasopharangeal
• Intubate
• Surgical
Tracheostomy
• tracheostomy is an opening surgically created
through the neck into the trachea (windpipe)
to allow direct access to the breathing tube
Secondary Survey
• History
Head to toe
Clean up
Good records
Re-evaluate
Clinical Signs and Symptoms
of Fractures
• Pain
• Swelling and bruising
• Deformity
• Loss of function
• Abnormal mobility
• Neurovascular disturbance
• Deranged occlusion
Assessment
• Soft Tissue Injury
• Bone Injury
• Soft Tissue Loss
• Bone Loss
• Teeth
Initial Management
• Antibiotics
• Analgesia
• Tetanus
• Clean and dress wounds
• Maintain airway
• Monitor
Gibbons’ Rules
• Systematic examination
• Midface trauma check eyes and nose
• CT head and neck
• Clean soft tissues.
Early management of soft
tissue injury
• Debride
• Preserve tissue
• Primary closure
• Delayed primary closure
Frontal Sinus
• Anterior/posterior table, comminution,
thickness
• the more central and the more severe the
fracture, more likely csf leakage
Frontal Sinus Repair
• Is exploration necessary? Is obliteration
necessary?
• Anterior wall for cosmesis
• Posterior wall to protect anterior cranial fossa
• If nasofrontal ducts involved may lead to
infection
• Obliteration via cranialization if posterior wall
severely comminuted
posterior table bone
• Severe injuries which result in disruption of
greater than 25% of the posterior table should
be considered for cranialization.
• This involves exposure of the entire sinus,
meticulous removal of all sinus mucosa, and
removal of the posterior table bone.
Midface fractures
• Midface fractures are common sequelae of motor
vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, and other blunt
trauma.
• Types of midface fracture or Le Fort classification
Le Fort classification
• Le Fort I or type 1
– Horizontal floating plate
• Le Fort II / type 2
– Pyramidal floating maxillery
• Le Fort III/ type 3
– Complete craniofacial separation floating face which
is transverse
Le Fort classification

speak no evil see no evil
Midface
Midface Repair
Fractures of the midface are
treated surgically if they
cause
malocclusion, enophthalmos,
diplopia, infraorbital nerve
anesthesia, or
unacceptable cosmetic
deformity. Surgical treatment
usually consists of
internal stabilization using fine
screws and plates.
Nasal fracture
Nasal bone fractures classified :

Type I)
Simple without displacement;
Type II)
Simple with displacement
Type III)
Comminuted with depression.
NOE repair
• Difficult, esp if comminuted
• Ensure positioning and fixation of canthal ligament to prevent
telecanthus
• If medial canthal ligaments attached to central bone– stablize
bone to surrouding skeleton
• If comminuted expose ligament and fix to frontal bone
Mandible
• Symphyseal, parasymphyseal,
body, angle, ramus, condyle,
coronoid

• Favorable vs unfavorable:
favorable when muscles tend
to draw bony fragments
together.

unfavorable when bony


fragments are displaced by
muscle forces.
1. Horizontally favorable fractures: The fracture
line starts at the alveolar margin and extends
forward or anteriorly and downwards till the
lower border of mandible. The Elevator and
Depressor Muscles act against each other and
help in keeping the bones on either sides of the
fracture line to be kept in position which helps in
preventing unnecessary movements and
decreases time of healing
• Horizontally unfavorable fractures: The fracture line
starts at the alveolar margin and extends
downwards and backwards till the lowest border of
mandible is reached. The Elevator and Depressor
Muscles act in the same direction and this causes
the bones on either sides of the fracture line to
move away from each other which causes
unnecessary movements and increases time of
healing.
• Vertical fractures are seen from the top of the
mandible or from the occlusal surface.
• Vertically favorable fractures: Fracture line starts at
the buccal or outer border of the mandible and it
extends obliquely backwards towards the lingual
margin of mandible. The Elevator and Depressor
Muscles act against each other and help in keeping
the bones on either sides of the fracture line to be
kept in position which helps in preventing
unnecessary movements and decreases time of
healing.
• vertical unfavorable fracture of mandible
• Vertical unfavorable fractures: Fracture line
starts at the lingual or inner border of the
mandible extending obliquely backwards
towards the buccal margin of the mandible.
The Elevator and Depressor Muscles act in the
same direction and this causes the bones on
either sides of the fracture line to move away
from each other which causes unnecessary
movements and increases time of healing.
Mandible Repair

• Plating if displaced, comminuted, unfavorable


• Subcondylar fxs are controversial
– MMF
– Open reduction if condylar displacement into
middle fossa, inability to obtain reduction, lateral
extacapsular displacement of condyle, invasion by
foreign body
• Teeth in fracture line: pull if infected
Facial Defects soft tissue
Nasal repair soft injury
• Small defects with adjacent nasal skin
• Full thickness skin graft for shallow defects
• Interpolated paramedian forehead flap or
melolabial flap for deeper defect
• Full thickness requires replacement of internal
lining, structural support with cartilage or
bone, external coverage with interpolated
cheek or forehead flap
nasal flaps
Lip reconstruction
• Less than one half with primary wound
closure or local flap
• ½ to 2/3 require full thickness flap from
opposite lip or cheek
• Full thickness >2/3 need regional flap or
vascularized microsurgical flap
Complications
• Complications of facial flaps include those of
tension-related.
• ischemic .
• hematologic.
• infectious.
