Anatomy • Upper Third • Frontal bones • Middle Third • Zygomas, orbits, maxillae, nasal bones • Lower Third • Mandible
Evaluation and Diagnosis • ABCs • Airway • High rate of c-spine fractures if facial trauma • PE • scalp, forehead • Orbits/vision, zygomas, nasal bones, septum, maxillae • Teeth, mandible, occlusion • Sensation, facial nerve function • CT is workhorse
Frontal Sinus • Anterior/posterior table, comminution, thickness • Sakas and colleagues: the more central and the more severe the fracture, more likely csf leakage
Frontal Sinus Repair • Is exploration necessary? Is obliteration necessary? • Anterior wall for cosmesis • Posterior wall to protect anterior cranial fossa • If nasofrontal ducts involved may lead to infection • Obliteration via cranialization if posterior wall severely comminuted
Le Fort • Le Fort I • Horizontal maxillary fx • Le Fort II • Pyramidal fx • Le Fort III • Complete craniofacial separation
Midface Repair • Reestablish buttress system • Horizontal butresses serve as connectors across vertical buttresses • Lateral vertical buttress of midface extends from frontal bone along frontozygomatic area down across zygomaticomaxillary area • Medial vertical buttress extends from frontal bone across frontonasal region and down across nasomaxillary junction
NOE A: type 1- solid central segment to which medial canthus is attached B: type II- more comminuted but still central segment to which medial canthus is intact C: type III- completely comminuted
NOE repair • Difficult, esp if comminuted • Ensure positioning and fixation of canthal ligament to prevent telecanthus • If medial canthal ligaments attached to central bone– stablize bone to surrouding skeleton • If comminuted expose ligament and fix to frontal bone
Mandible • Symphyseal, parasymphyseal, body, angle, ramus, condyle, coronoid • Favorable vs unfavorable: • Upward forces of temporalis and masseter • Downward forces of suprahyoid musculature • Almost all angle fxs are unfavorable
Occlusion • Angles Classification • Class I: mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary 1st molar rests withing mesiobuccal groove of mandibular 1st molar • Class II: maxillary molar is more anterior • Class III: maxillary molar is more posterior
Mandible Repair • Occlusion! • Plating if displaced, comminuted, unfavorable • Subcondylar fxs are controversial • MMF • Open reduction if condylar displacement into middle fossa, inability to obtain reduction, lateral extacapsular displacement of condyle, invasion by foreign body • Teeth in fracture line: pull if infected
Surgical Approach • Upper third • Coronal • Middle third • Gillies, gingivobuccal, • Upper lid blepharoplasty • Transconj, subciliary • Lower third • Transoral • Transcervical
COCLIA • Review the LeFort Fracture levels • When would you obliterate a frontal sinus fracture and what would you use? • What are indications for opening a condyle fracture? • Discuss subciliary vs transconjunctival approach to orbital fractures.
Le Fort • Le Fort I • Horizontal maxillary fx • Le Fort II • Pyramidal fx • Le Fort III • Complete craniofacial separation
Frontal sinus fractures and obliteration are controversial • Posterior table displaced more than one table width • Very comminuted fractures • Persistant csf leak • Obliteration with fat, bone, pericranial fat
Condyle • Absolute indications for ORIF • Displacement into middle cranial fossa • Inability to obtain occlusion • Lateral extracapsular dislocation • Foreign body or contaminated open wound • Relative ORIF • Bilateral condylar fracture in edentulous mandible • Bilateral condylar fracture with midface fracture
Orbital Approach • Subciliary • Higher risk of lower lid retraction • Transconjunctival
Facial Defects • Local flaps: • Pivotal • Advancement • hinged
Pivotal flaps • Move towards defect by rotating base of flap around pivot point • Rotational • Transposition • Interpolated • The greater the degree of pivot, the shorter the length
Advancement flaps • Move towards defect by stretching or recoiling the tissue of the flap • Unipedicle • Bipedicle • V-Y and V-V
Nasal repair • Small defects with adjacent nasal skin • Full thickness skin graft for shallow defects • Interpolated paramedian forehead flap or melolabial flap for deeper defect • Full thickness requires replacement of internal lining, structural support with cartilage or bone, external coverage with interpolated cheek or forehead flap
Lip reconstruction • Less than one half with primary wound closure or local flap • ½ to 2/3 require full thickness flap from opposite lip or cheek • Full thickness >2/3 need regional flap or vascularized microsurgical flap
