18
Q

zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC)

A

cheekbone is fractured

19
Q

what structures are involved in a NOE fracture?

A
  1. frontal sinus
  2. naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE)
  3. orbital floor
20
Q

dentoalveolar fractures

A

fracture to teeth and alveolar bone that may extend to adjacent bone

21
Q

panfacial fractures

A

fracture of all the facial bones

22
Q

goals of tx’ing facial fractures

A
  1. fracture healing
  2. return of normal fxn
  3. restore facial/dental esthetics
  4. restore occlusion
23
Q

principles of managing facial fractures

A
  1. reduction
  2. stabilization
  3. immobilization
  4. prevent infection
  5. restoration of occlusion
24
Q

tx options for facial fractures

A
  1. no tx
  2. closed reduction
  3. open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF)
  4. combo
25
Q

non-surgical tx for facial fractures

A
  1. soft, no-chew diet
  2. close follow-up
  3. low tolerance for switching to surgical tx
26
Q

T/F: there are many non-surgical tx options for facial fractures

A

false, very limited application

27
Q

when is non-surgical tx of facial fractures indicated?

A

fractures WITHOUT MALOCCLUSION and a compliant patient

28
Q

what type of facial fractures are indicated for non-surgical tx?

A
  1. subcondylar

2. greenstick

29
Q

closed reduction

A

dentition of hte opposite arch used as the handle to reduce the fracture

30
Q

what must the pt have in order to have closed reduction performed?

A
  1. good teeth
  2. favorable fracture
  3. min-moderate displacement
31
Q

what happens after occlusion of patient with facial fracture is established

A

teeth then need to be wired together (maxillo-mandibular fixation)

32
Q

what can be used to wire together teeth of patients with facial fracture for closed reduction?

A
  1. arch bars and MMF (maxillo-mandibular fixation)

2. ivy loops and MMF

33
Q

how long should maxillo-mandibular fixation (MMF) be for?

A

4-8 weeks

34
Q

the length of maxillo-mandibular fixation (MMF) depends on what?

A
  1. fracture(s)
  2. age of pt
  3. medical hx
35
Q

open reducation with internal fixation (ORIF)

A

expose fractures and use direct visualization and dentition to manipulate segments into place then fixate with plates and screws

36
Q

indications for open reducation with internal fixation (ORIF)

A
  1. grossly displaced
  2. cannot tolerate MMF
  3. need a short/absent period of MMF
37
Q

which pts can’t tolerate MMF?

A

pts with seizures, lung disease

38
Q

which type of patients need a short/absent period of MMF?

A

pts with condylar fractures

39
Q

advantages of intraoral surgical approach

A
  1. no external scar

2. no FACIAL NERVE damage

40
Q

disadvantages of intraoral surgical approach

A
  1. oral contamination

2. fracture reduction can be more difficult to reduce

41
Q

advantages of of extraoral surgical approach

A

excellent access for reduction and fixaton

42
Q

disadvantages of of extraoral surgical approach

A
  1. external scar

2. potential for facial nerve damage

43
Q

what is involved in panfacial trauma?

A
  1. frontal bone
  2. ZMC
  3. NOE region
  4. maxilla and mandible
