Abstract
The maxillofacial region is vulnerable to an injury and account for a significant proportion of visits to emergency departments. Road traffic accident, especially motor vehicle accident still remains the commonest cause of these injuries. Maxillofacial fractures are diagnosed clinically and confirmed radiologically. The treatment choices of maxillofacial fractures include observation, closed reduction and open reduction with internal fixation. In general, any displaced fracture should be treated by open reduction which can be accomplished via sublabial and/or transconjunctival approach depending on the extent of fractures.
A case of multiple maxillofacial fractures was reported in a 19-years old man and have been done reconstruction of fractures by open reduction via sublabial approach and internal fixation with plates and screws application. Artikel Lengkap
