BACKGROUND Patients with panfacial fractures comprise a small portion of the overall facial fracture patient population. Because of the forces necessary to cause panfacial injury, these patients often have other concomitant injuries. The timing of operative facial fracture management remains controversial. METHODS A 3-year review of all patients with facial fractures was conducted at Duke Uni...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of emergency facial trauma in children and mother's cognition on it. METHODS Descriptive analysis was undertaken for 216 children with maxillofacial trauma. The analysis included age distributions of the children, reasons and places for the trauma, and positions and severity degrees of the trauma. The questionnaires were carried out for the patients' m...

PURPOSE To address the clinical relevance of and optimal technique for 3-D CT imaging of facial trauma. METHODS Bioengineered cadaveric models were developed to enhance the concepts of LeFort. Diverse CT imaging techniques were applied to obtain optimal data sets for processing on various 3-D workstations. The fidelity of the 3-D reconstructions was determined by comparison with photographs o...

Background A wealth of research has investigated the impact of early life trauma exposure on functional brain activation during facial emotion processing and has often demonstrated amygdala hyperactivity and weakened connectivity between amygdala and medial PFC (mPFC). There have been notably limited investigations linking these previous node-specific findings into larger-scale network models o...

BACKGROUND The incidence and etiology of facial bone fracture differ widely according to time and geographic setting. Because of this, prevention and management of facial bone fracture requires ongoing research. This study examines the relationship between socioeconomic status and the incidence of facial bone fractures in patients who had been admitted for facial bone fractures. METHODS A ret...

In spite of anatomic proximity of the facial skeleton and cranium, there is lack of information in the literature regarding the relationship between facial and brain injuries. This study aims to correlate brain injuries with facial injuries using finite element method (FEM). Nine common impact scenarios of facial injuries are simulated with their individual stress wave propagation paths in the ...

Facial fractures, specifically orbitozygomatic and zygomaticomaxillary complex are well-documented common injuries. Pseudoaneurysm formation following cerebrovascular blunt trauma is a rarely experienced complication with an incidence rate of less than 1% only few cases reported in the literature. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm sphenopalatine artery (SPA), deepest branch maxillary artery, extremely r...

Abstract Introduction Plastic surgery emergencies, such as facial trauma, burns, and gunshot wounds, are commonly presenting injuries to the emergency department. However, these topics rarely part of medical school curriculums few educational conferences exist on topics. Hence, we created a novel international student conference entitled “Emergencies in Surgery”. We then evaluated its effective...

Aim: To evaluate the anxiety in patients of maxillofacial trauma using HAM-A scale presenting emergency department and compare it with elective surgery Study design: Analytical cross sectional study. Place duration study: was conducted from May 2021 to Apr 2022 at Dental unit Nishtar Institute Dentistry. Methodology: 80 who met inclusion criteria were included. Inclusion any patient aged betwee...
