Study Notes
Maxillofacial Trauma
- The primary aim of the lecture on Maxillofacial Trauma is to understand the etiology, classification, and management of maxillofacial fractures.
Etiology of Mandibular Fractures
- The common etiologies of mandibular fractures do not include osteoporosis.
- Atrophic mandibular fractures are primarily caused by osteoporosis.
Classification of Maxillofacial Fractures
- Maxillofacial fractures are classified based on their relation to overlying tissue into open or closed fractures.
- The primary aim of classifying maxillofacial fractures is to determine the severity of the injury and guide treatment.
Types of Mandibular Fractures
- Impacted teeth are related to subcondylar fractures.
- Comminuted refers to a fracture that results in multiple pieces of bone.
- A coronoid fracture involves a fracture at the base of the coronoid process.
- A complex fracture results in soft tissue loss.
Types of Forces
- Glancing force is considered favorable in the direction of force for maxillofacial fractures.
Diagnosis and Management
- The primary aim of diagnosing mandibular fractures is to identify the severity of the injury and guide treatment.
- CT scans are recommended when a patient cannot assume a position for plain radiography due to severe displacement and limited range of motion.
- The length of fixation recommended for adults after closed reduction of mandibular fractures is 4-6 weeks.
- The technique of fixation involving IMF screws is used for mandibular fractures.
- The absolute indications for open reduction of condylar fracture include displacement of the condylar head, impingement on the glenoid fossa, and limitation of jaw movement.
Complications and Fixation
- Potential complications of mandibular fractures if not treated properly include malunion, nonunion, and osteomyelitis.
- The mode of fixation recommended for managing unfavorable or unstable mandibular fractures is rigid internal fixation.
