Background: panfacial fractures resembles a therapeutic challenge to maxillofacial surgeons This study was carried out to determine the etiology, injury characteristics and management outcome of pan facial fractures at Sohag university hospital.Methods: A retrospective hospital based study of panfacial fractures patients was carried out at Sohag university hospital from January 2010 to December 2016. Data was collected and analyzed using SPPS.Results: 200 Panfacial Trauma Patients were analysed. Males to females by a ratio of 24:1. Their ages ranged from 13 to 63 years with a mean of 30±12 years Most injuries were due to road traffic accidents (78%), and by falling from height in 12%. Mandibular fractures were the most common type of injuries. Open reduction and internal fixation by using plates and screws was the commonest surgical technique, used in 97.8% of cases. The most common complications were limited mouth opening, malocclusion. The mean duration of hospital stay was 11.13±2.23 days.Conclusions: Road traffic accident (RTC) was the most common cause of panfacial injuries in our locality and the young adult males were the most commonly affected victims. The majority of maxillofacial fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation.

INTRODUCTION Major facial defect has been a challenging case for plastic surgeons in terms of wound healing and covering technique for a long time. METHODS Eight faciocervicopectoral (FCP) flaps were performed for reconstruction of major cheek defects due to handmade explosive and gun injuries. They were evaluated perioperatively and postoperatively with regard to operative time and operative blood loss as well as the function and cosmetic appearance. RESULTS The technique showed marvellous cosmetic results but encountered minor postoperative flap complications. CONCLUSIONS The FCP flap is one of the best solutions for coverage of a simple or complex cheek defect. Application of the FCP flap is easy and rapid.

“…The existence of this controversy is based on the positive and negative aspects of open techniques and closed techniques [1]. Mandibular condylar injuries are common among populations and their prevalence in different societies have been reported between 9 and 45 percent based on different studies [5,6]. By the conventional open techniques (preauricular, retromandibular, submandibular and endaural approaches) we can achieve an anatomic and favorable reduction, so function of the TMJ can be rapidly achieved and better results concerning function have been reported [1].…”

“…By this technique, osteosynthesis is done and better bone to bone fusion is achieved but there is higher risk of complications such as facial nerve injury and presence of visible scar on the face. Also, salivary fistulas have been reported [1,6]. Closed treatment technique is a more appropriate designation than closed reduction, because in most cases no ''reduction'' of the fracture is performed [7], (include intermaxillary fixation and elastic therapy) will not show aforementioned complications of open techniques, but since one cannot achieve an anatomic reduction the function of the TMJ can take longer time to improve and can be compromised.…”

Purpose The endoscopic-assisted technique for the treatment of subcondylar fractures has been used successfully and its acceptance develops as more surgeons gain experience. We present the short term results of this technique in a randomized prospective clinical trial. Methods and Materials A total of 40 patients with mandibular subcondylar fracture were included in our study in two groups randomly. Patients of first group were treated by closed treatment technique and patients of second group by transoral endoscopic-assisted open reduction. All patients were followed for minimum of 12 weeks and occlusion, Mandibular Anterior Opening (MAO), mandibular deviation, and posterior ramal height were assessed. Results In the endoscopic group the MAO was significantly greater and mandibular deviation was lesser at 2nd and 4th week of follow up. Posterior ramal height showed significant increase in the endoscopic group rather than closed treatment group. Conclusion The transoral endoscopic-assisted technique is a reliable and successful technique to address subcondylar fractures. The patients who were treated by this technique showed better results in the fields of mandibular function and patient satisfaction and comfort, although it is time consuming and needs expensive instruments.
