What Are Facial Fractures and what are its types?

Facial fractures are broken or cracked bones in the face, often caused by trauma. The most common areas affected include the jaw (mandible), cheekbones (zygomatic bones), nose (nasal bones), and the eye socket (orbital bones). Facial fractures can range from simple cracks to more severe breaks requiring surgical intervention.

We are hands on at addressing:

  • Dentoalveolar fractures : Teeth and the bone surrounding them
  • Nasal Fractures: Broken nose due to impact or injury.
  • Orbital Fractures: Damage to the bones surrounding the eyes.
  • Maxillary (Upper Jaw) Fractures: Fractures of the upper jaw and cheekbones.
  • Mandibular (Lower Jaw) Fractures: Broken jaw or fractures affecting the lower face.
  • Frontal (Forehead) Fractures: Fracture during head injuries involving the skull on the forehead region.
  • Complex Facial Fractures: Combinations of fractures involving multiple areas of the face.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Facial Fractures?

If you’ve suffered an injury to your face, it’s important to recognize the signs of a fracture. 

Symptoms may include:

  • Pain and swelling in the face or jaw
  • Bruising around the eyes, nose, or mouth
  • Deformity or visible changes in the shape of the face
  • Numbness or tingling in the face, mouth, or lips
  • Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing
  • Bleeding or fluid leaking from the nose or mouth
  • Trouble breathing through the nose (for nasal fractures)

What causes Facial Fractures?

Facial fractures typically occur due to external trauma. Common causes include:

  • Road Accidents :  Collisions often lead to significant facial trauma, particularly involving the nose, cheekbones, and jaw.
  • Sports Injuries : Contact sports such as football, hockey, or boxing are high-risk activities for facial injuries.
  • Falls :Accidents like slipping or falling can result in fractures to the facial bones, especially in the elderly.
  • Physical Assault :  Fights or violent altercations can lead to facial fractures, especially around the nose, jaw, or orbital areas
  • Workplace Accidents :  Occupations involving heavy machinery or dangerous tasks increase the likelihood of facial trauma

What Happens If You Ignore Facial Fractures?

Ignoring facial fractures can lead to serious complications. These include:

  • Improper Healing: If not treated properly, fractures may heal in an incorrect position, leading to facial deformity or functional issues.
  • Chronic Pain: Untreated fractures can cause ongoing discomfort or pain in the affected area.
  • Infection: Open fractures or fractures near the sinuses or mouth can lead to infections, which can spread and cause further damage.
  • Vision Loss: Fractures around the eyes may result in vision impairment or permanent loss of vision if not addressed promptly.
  • Speech or Eating Difficulties: Fractures of the jaw or mouth can impact your ability to speak clearly or eat comfortably, affecting your quality of life.
