Frontal Bone Fracture
Initial management: Stabilize patient, assess for brain injury. Potential complications: Frontal sinus infection, mucocele. Treatment strategies: Dural repair, sinus obliteration.
Burns to the Face
Initial management: Cool the burn, assess airway. Potential complications: Scarring, contractures. Treatment strategies: Wound care, reconstructive procedures.
Temporal Bone Fracture
Initial management: Assess for cerebrospinal fluid leak, hearing loss. Potential complications: Facial nerve paralysis, CSF otorrhea. Treatment strategies: Steroid therapy, surgical intervention.
Zygomatic Complex Fracture
Initial management: Apply ice, assess ocular function. Potential complications: Diplopia, infraorbital nerve damage. Treatment strategies: Elevation of zygoma, orbital reconstruction.
Maxillary Fracture (Le Fort Fractures)
Initial management: Maintain airway, minimize movement. Potential complications: Malocclusion, CSF leak. Treatment strategies: Intermaxillary fixation, reconstructive surgery.
Soft Tissue Laceration
Initial management: Clean wound, control bleeding. Potential complications: Infection, scarring. Treatment strategies: Suturing, infection prophylaxis.
Corneal Abrasion
Initial management: Eye irrigation, pain control. Potential complications: Infection, visual impairment. Treatment strategies: Antibiotic drops, patching the eye.
Nasal Bone Fracture
Initial management: Control bleeding, reduce swelling. Potential complications: Septal hematoma, nasal obstruction. Treatment strategies: Closed reduction, rhinoplasty.
Orbital Fracture
Initial management: Cold compresses, analgesia. Potential complications: Enophthalmos, impaired eye movement. Treatment strategies: Observation, surgical repair.
Laryngeal Trauma
Initial management: Secure airway, reduce edema. Potential complications: Airway obstruction, voice changes. Treatment strategies: Voice rest, surgical repair.
Auricular Hematoma
Initial management: Aspiration, compression dressing. Potential complications: 'Cauliflower ear', infection. Treatment strategies: Incision and drainage, bolster dressing.
Penetrating Facial Injury
Initial management: Airway stabilization, control bleeding. Potential complications: Infection, nerve damage. Treatment strategies: Surgical exploration, repair of structures.
Eyelid Injury
Initial management: Protect eye, assess vision. Potential complications: Lid malposition, lacrimal system damage. Treatment strategies: Suturing, reconstructive surgery.
Mandibular Fracture
Initial management: Immobilize jaw, ensure airway patency. Potential complications: Malocclusion, infection. Treatment strategies: Intermaxillary fixation, plate fixation.
Dental Trauma
Initial management: Replant avulsed teeth, control bleeding. Potential complications: Tooth loss, infection. Treatment strategies: Splinting, root canal therapy.
