Management of Malunited Panfacial Fracture With Calvarium Bone Graft – A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
The facial region has both functional and aesthetic units. Trauma to the facial region may corrupt any of these units, causing aesthetic as well as functional difficulties. The facial region also has an important role in the upper airway tract, and it must also be evaluated after facial injuries. Violent assaults, motor vehicle accidents and sports injuries may cause panfacial fractures that affect the lower, middle and upper part of the face. Post-traumatic deformities if not treated after healing, are among the most formidable challenges faced by the surgeons, apart from the psychological impact on the patients. Proper facial projection and height must be re-established with harmonious occlusion & Symmetry. This paper deals with a case report of the useful techniques for the correction of malunited panfacial fracture that we treated in two stages; firstly the refracture & reduction of the fracture fragments and secondly correction of residual orbital floor deformity by calvarium bone grafts.
