Case PresentationCase Presentation
You are called to assess a patient in the trauma bay s/p fall from motorcycle onto his face.

Exam FindingsExam Findings
ABC – talking, slurred speech, hemodynamically stable.
Extensive degloving chin laceration communicates with oral cavity. Some dental step-off, obvious malocclusion.
No neck swelling or soft tissue injury.

Additional Concerns?Additional Concerns?
Intoxication? Head Injury?
C-spine
“Open” fracture
Missing teeth? WHERE ARE THEY?

Rest of ExamRest of Exam
PERRL/EOMi, no raccoon eyesMidface Stable, no septal hematoma, no
step-offs in midfaceFresh blood occluding EACs bilaterallyMalocclusion, 1.5 cm MICD due to painEcchymosis under tongue with minimal
retrodisplacement. FOL – airway clear.

Prefer preoperative mandible series with panorex…why?

Mandible FractureMandible Fracture
Very often more than one fracture present
May result in airway compromise (acute or delayed)
Elevated risk of c-spine injury
Almost always considered contaminated
U.C. Irvine - Otolaryngology-Head & Neck
Surgery
Immediate ManagementImmediate Management
Rule out other significant injury including brain and c-spine
Monitor for airway issues – repeat exam (may include FOL), monitored bed
Start antibiotics immediately (what type?)Pain managementDocument CN function (esp inf alveolar)

Considerations In Mandible Considerations In Mandible FxFx
Much of the morbidity of these injuries is attributed to improper management.
Infection risk increases with passage of time, substantially higher after 72h.
Risks of nonunion, malunion, malocclusion, plate fracture, plate extrusion, TMJ fixation, jaw restriction, poor cosmetic outcome

Steps to Avoid ProblemsSteps to Avoid Problems
Proper diagnosisConsider Co-morbid ConditionsConsider Patient Personality/OccupationProper management plan for the
circumstancesProper technique (MMF, bending, drilling,
screw placement, nerves, tooth roots)When in doubt, use a LARGER plate.

Concepts in ReductionConcepts in Reduction
Patient’s baseline occlusion is first priority.Class I, II, III … Crossbite?Observe wear facetsDo not force class I if it doesn’t line up with
wear facets.Verify occlusion at beginning, mid, end of
case. Remove MMF to verify if necessary.

Plate TypesPlate Types
What is…– A tension band?– A compression plate?– A lag screw?– A recon (UF) plate?– A locking plate?– Load sharing vs. load bearing plate?

Other Special CasesOther Special Cases
Bilateral Parasymphaseal – Geniohyoid origin lost, tongue prolapses into airway.
Bilateral subcondylar – prone to TMD, loss of height, retrusion and increased width of mandible.
Pediatric Fractures – remove plates or use absorbable, minimize MMF.
Loss of Bone – from infection, severe trauma or nonunion.
