Purpose:
To report the treatment experience of panfacial fracture.
Methods:
Thirty-seven patients with panfacial fracture were treated with rigid internal fixation combined with intermaxillary or craniomaxillary traction. The fracture was repositioned in the order of "from fixed to mobile and from simple to complex".
Results:
Thirty-four cases achieved satisfactory results, with good recovery of occlusion and normal oral function.
Conclusions:
Panfacial fracture can be managed successfully and conveniently through a small facial incision, in the order of "from fixed to mobile and from simple to complex", combined with intermaxillary traction.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
