Assessment and Management of Panfacial Fractures

Abstract

Objective: To assess the clinical pattern of presentation of panfacial fractures and its management modalities at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad. Subject and Methods: This analysis comprised 131 individuals with clinical and radiographic findings of concomitant mandibular, maxillary, and zygomatic complex breaks, with or without fractures in the NOE area or frontal bone. A thorough physical checkup and suitable radiology were used to detect individuals with maxillofacial injuries. Any soft tissue or hard tissue damage to the face was assessed. The location of the fracture and the kind of fracture were documented. Closed or open reduction was used to manage the patients. Results: The participant's mean age was 35.289.25 years. Pain was seen in 81 % of cases, facial bulging in 70.2 %, facial asymmetry in 47.1 %, ecchymosis in so much than 51.2 %, ophthalmologic damage in 14 %, malocclusion in 91.7 %, mobility in 44.6 %, and displacement of bordering teeth in 55.4 %, and mid facial flexibility in 33.9 %. Conclusion: Fractures of mandible and Zygomatic complex were the most reported cases among panfacial trauma cases, while pain and malocclusion were the most commonly reported findings after trauma of such type.
