The Diagnosis and Management of Facial Bone Fractures.

The Diagnosis and Management of Facial Bone Fractures. Emerg Med Clin North Am. 2019 Feb;37(1):137-151 Authors: Chukwulebe S, Hogrefe C Abstract Appropriate medical care for a patient with a facial fracture can not only optimize aesthetic outcomes but also prevent the potential morbidity and mortality of delayed treatment. In this article, we focus on the clinical presentations, physical examination findings, diagnostic imaging, consultations, and follow-up that patients with facial fractures need related to their emergency department management. Specifically, we address the nuances of evaluating frontal, orbital, nasal, maxillofacial, and mandibular fractures. PMID: 30454777 [PubMed - in process]
