Abstract

Introduction

The prevalence of maxillofacial fractures is rising due to increased road traffic accidents, necessitating prompt and effective management, especially in cases of panfacial fractures. The primary objective in treating such fractures is to restore occlusion and stabilize midface buttresses and pillars.

Case report

This article presents the case of a 56-year-old male who sustained panfacial fractures following a road accident, exhibiting symptoms including facial pain and nosebleeds. The treatment involved the use of arch bars for dental occlusion. Post-operative recovery was complicated by silent aspiration, successfully managed with a tracheostomy. After one month, the patient showed symmetrical facial features with no abnormalities.

Conclusion

It is crucial to weigh the benefits and limitations of Maxillomandibular Fixation in relation to the specific fracture types. This case underscores the potential of arch bars in improving outcomes for patients with complex facial fractures.

期刊介绍： Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
