What is New in Pediatric Maxillofacial Fractures? - A Systematic Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Pediatric maxilla facial fractures are rare compared to adult maxilla facial injuries. However, they follow a different pattern of presentation and management principles. As the facial bones in children are in the developing stage, they have to be managed using the most conservative methods possible. Since children have a less hemodynamic reserve, other serious injuries have to be also dealt simultaneously. Many centers do not have a specialized pediatric trauma care system, hence, it is important for any emergency care personnel to know the principles behind managing such case. The article provides a systematic review of the recent articles in English literature on management of pediatric maxillofacial fractures.
