Abstract:
Craniofacial trauma in the geriatric population is increasing as our population ages. Due to loss of bone quality and medical comorbidities, injuries for minor trauma can be severe. A more extensive medical evaluation is usually warranted in this population before proceeding with surgery. In addition, unique surgical considerations exist in the repair of atrophic and edentulous bony fractures. Some quality improvement measures have already been undertaken but more is needed to help standardize care in this vulnerable population.
