Abstract Two cases of initially undiagnosed silent fractures of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus complicated by a delayed osteomyelitis are presented. The presenting feature was periorbital cellulitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The size and location of the mobile segment may identify which type of Le Fort fracture is present. If only an isolated segment of bone is mobile, a small alveolar or nasofrontal process chip fracture may be present. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  They are the second most common facial bone fracture after nasal bone fractures. The fracture complex results from a direct blow to the malar eminence and results in three distinct fracture components that disrupt the anchoring of the zygoma. [radiopaedia.org]

  In most instances, maxillary fractures are a combination of the various Le Fort types. Fracture lines often diverge from the described pathways and may result in mixed-type fractures, unilateral fractures, or other atypical fractures. [oralmaxillo-facialsurgery.blogspot.com]

  PURPOSE: This study used a biomechanical model to examine fundamental questions about rigid plate fixation treatment for maxillary Le Fort I fractures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Maxillofacial fractures can cause complications when not treated properly. These fractures can be treated with open surgery or closed therapy. In an open procedure, the doctor opens up the fracture site and sets the fractured bones manually. [docdoc.com]

Although they represent serious injuries, the workup and treatment of facial fractures is often properly delayed until more pressing problems have been addressed, such as the establishment of an adequate airway, hemodynamic stabilization, and the evaluation [rad.washington.edu]

Workup Laboratory studies Laboratory studies should be ordered based on the patient's medical history, current condition and planned surgical procedure. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology Maxillary fractures often result from high-energy blunt force injury to the facial skeleton. [oralmaxillo-facialsurgery.blogspot.com]

As such, clinical information, such as injury etiology, is dependent on the accuracy of medical records. [ajnr.org]

Pathophysiology Much of the understanding of patterns of fracture propagation in midface trauma originates from the work of René Le Fort. [oralmaxillo-facialsurgery.blogspot.com]

Pathophysiology The kinetic energy present in a moving object is a function of the mass multiplied by the square of its velocity. The dispersion of this kinetic energy during deceleration produces the force that results in injury. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Considerable controversy exists over the need for prophylactic antibiotics after midface fractures to prevent orbital cellulitis. [mydigimag.rrd.com]

This is to prevent an infection. Whenever you are prescribed antibiotics, it is important to finish the course as instructed. This is for your health and also to prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance in the general population. [cuh.nhs.uk]
