os - trauma Flashcards
symptoms of # zygoma
- ocular symptoms due to proximity of zygoma to orbital floor
- maxillary sinus fills with blood so epistaxis as max sinus drains through nose via semi lunar hiatus
supply of eye muscles
CN VIII oculomotor
except
LR7 - lateral rectus CN VII
SO4 - superior oblique CN IV trochlear
clinical symptoms of zygomatico-orbital trauma (8)
- step deformity
- epistaxis - unilateral
- periorbital bruising & swelling
- subconjunctival ecchymoses
- sensory defect via infraorbital nerve i.e. numbness in the cheek
- diplopia
- subcutaneous emphysema
- flatness of the face
inital mx of ZO #
- exclude ocular injury - warn signs re retrobulbar haemorrhage
- prophylactic ABs
- avoid nose blowing
definitive mx of ZO #
- r/v when swelling subsided
- CBCT / occipitomental 15 & 30 degree views
- informed consent
- closed reduction +/- fixation
- OR +/- IF
muscles that close mandible
masseter
medial pterygoid
temporalis
muscles that open mandible
anterior belly digastric
mylohyoid
geniohyoid
damage to IAN manifests as
numbness of lower lip & chin
causes of numbness to IAN (4)
- direct trauma
- impacted M3M
- infection of bone i.e. osteomyelitis
- resorption of bone due to pathology i.e. cyst
signs & symptoms of mandibular #
pain, swelling, loose / mobile teeth, deviation of mandible to opp side of #, facial asymmetry, AOB (# can cause shortened ramus), numbness of lip, bleeding limited to # site
important to look at FoM for sublingual haematoma
to classify mandibular # (5)
- involvement of surrounding tissue i.e. simple / compound / comminuted
- no of # i.e. single / multiple
- site of # lines i.e. uni / bi / multi
- direction of # line i.e. favourable / unfavourable
- if displaced or undisplaced
involvement of surrounding tissue
- simple = everything intact
- compound = soft tissue damaged thus exposing # to environment
- comminuted = bone broken into may small pieces
what causes displacement of #
1 group of muscles will pull the segment up and the other group of muscles will pull the segment down therefore causing displacement
direction of # line
favourable - minimises displacement
unfavourable - encourages further displacement
causes of # displacement (6)
- magnitude of force
- mechanism of injury
- other associated #s
- opposing occlusion; if v good displacement minimal as acts as stopper
- direction of # line
- if soft tissues intact# unlikely to be displaced
