This paper introduces facial bone and soft tissue fracture classifications, detailing middle third and mandibular fractures. Modern treatments aim to reduce fixation times using advanced internal fixation techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Facial bones and soft tissues are crucial for human social functions.
  • Fracture classification distinguishes between middle third and mandibular fractures.
  • Complex facial fractures with soft tissue damage are increasingly common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the symposium 'Eurosurgery 90' focused on facial trauma.
  • To review anatomical and functional properties of facial structures.
  • To outline fracture classifications and treatment objectives.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical and functional properties of facial bones and soft tissues.
  • Classification of facial fractures into middle third (Le Fort I, II, III) and mandibular types.

  • Description of fracture displacements and muscle insertions.
  • Overview of current treatment aims and technologies.

    • Main Results:

    • Classical Le Fort fractures are less frequent than complex, asymmetrical fractures.
    • Mandibular fractures can exhibit significant displacement due to muscle forces.
    • Current treatment trends focus on minimizing intermaxillary fixation duration.

    Conclusions:

    • Facial trauma management requires understanding complex anatomy and fracture patterns.
    • Advancements in internal fixation are reducing treatment duration for facial fractures.
    • The study serves as an introduction to contemporary approaches in facial trauma surgery.
