Surgical Management of Panfacial Injury: A Case Report

Abstract

Pan facial injuries are multiple injuries of the face that involve the upper third, middle third, and lower third of the face. Pan
facial injuries occur majorly due to road traffic accidents and physical assaults. Because of multiple facial injuries, it is difficult
for the surgeon to re-establish facial contours and regaining anatomical and functional work of the facial region. Persistent
deformity of the facial skeleton can occur due to inadequate reduction of all the component of fractured segments or lack to
stability in fracture bones. To diagnose multiple facial injuries a better clinical evaluation is necessary and 3 Dimensional
computed tomography scans are gold standard in evaluating displaced, non displaced fractures, and finding multiple injuries
of the facial region. Treatment protocol for pan facial fractures can be closed reduction or open reduction internal fixation.
This case report tells about a brief discussion on the management of a 25-year-old male patient who had suffered from multiple
facial injuries.
