Study Notes
Definition and Epidemiology
- Maxillofacial trauma refers to injuries affecting the face, including the bones, soft tissues, and dental structures.
- Accounts for approximately 10% of all trauma cases.
- Most common causes: motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, and sports-related injuries.
Classification
-
Soft tissue injuries:
- Lacerations
- Contusions
- Avulsions
- Burns
-
Bony injuries:
- Fractures of the mandible, maxilla, zygoma, and nasal bones
- Dentoalveolar injuries (involving teeth and surrounding bone)
-
Specialized injuries:
- Orbital fractures
- Nasal complex fractures
- Craniofacial dissociation (separation of cranial and facial bones)
Signs and Symptoms
-
Hard tissue injuries:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Deformity
- Malocclusion (abnormal bite)
- Difficulty with eating, speaking, or breathing
-
Soft tissue injuries:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Difficulty with speech or swallowing
- Visible signs of trauma (e.g., lacerations, ecchymosis)
Diagnosis
- Clinical examination
- Imaging studies:
- Radiographs (e.g., panoramic, occlusal, and facial bone views)
- CT scans
- MRI (for soft tissue injuries)
Management
- Airway management: secure patent airway
- Hemorrhage control: manage bleeding
- Wound management: clean and close wounds
- Surgical intervention: stabilize and realign fractured bones
- Rehabilitation: physical therapy, speech therapy, and psychological support
Complications
- Infection: osteomyelitis, abscesses, or cellulitis
- Malunion: improper healing of fractures
- Nonunion: failure of fractures to heal
- Dental complications: tooth loss, dental nerve damage
- Psychological trauma: anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
