Facial fractures: classification and highlights for a useful report
Repair of Facial Fractures
Traumatic injury to the face can result in fractures of the facial bones or soft tissue injury. Commonly broken facial bones include the frontal bone forehead , orbits eye socket , nose, cheekbones, and mandible jaw. The facial soft tissues can be damaged, leading to superficial and deep lacerations. These facial injuries most often occur from sports, falls, car accidents, or any other major trauma to the face. Broken facial bone s and soft tissue injuries can result in both cosmetic deformity and functional problems.

Gunshot wounds in the facial region produce important functional disabilities if they are not properly treated. They may also cause an important effect in the social and psychological development of the patient because of the aesthetic problems that they produce. This article presents a case of a 20 years-old female patient who was referred to our institution because of facial trauma secondary to a gunshot wound, whose treatment consisted of multiple reconstructive surgeries in order to obtain an adequate, functional and esthetic result. Also, we did a review of the bibliography in order to establish the proper management of the wounds found in these type of cases.. Gunshot wounds produce devastating, functional and aesthetical consequences in people, 1 specifically those in the maxillofacial region.
