ABSTRACT
Objective: To
assess the clinical pattern of presentation of panfacial fractures and its
management modalities at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad.
Subject and Methods: This
analysis comprised 131 individuals with clinical and radiographic findings of
concomitant mandibular, maxillary, and zygomatic complex breaks, with or
without fractures in the NOE area or frontal bone. A thorough physical checkup
and suitable radiology were used to detect individuals with maxillofacial
injuries. Any soft tissue or hard tissue damage to the face was assessed. The
location of the fracture and the kind of fracture were documented. Closed or
open reduction was used to manage the patients.
Results: The
participant's mean age was 35.289.25 years. Pain was seen in 81 % of cases,
facial bulging in 70.2 %, facial asymmetry in 47.1 %, ecchymosis in so much
than 51.2 %, ophthalmologic damage in 14 %, malocclusion in 91.7 %, mobility in
44.6 %, and displacement of bordering teeth in 55.4 %, and mid facial
flexibility in 33.9 %.
Conclusion: Fractures
of mandible and Zygomatic complex were the most reported cases among panfacial
trauma cases, while pain and malocclusion were the most commonly reported
findings after trauma of such type.
