Sagittal fractures of the maxilla and palate are infrequent and can demonstrate significant instability with conventional methods of treatment.

The most effective and precise management has utilized a combination of open reduction and internal fixation at the piriform aperture and zygomatic buttress and posterior palate, use of a maxillary arch bar as a tension band, and utilization of a palatal splint.
