“…1,[4][5][6] The best aesthetic and functional outcomes of these complex facial fractures are obtained with early exact bone repositioning and rigid fixation using screws and plates. 4,7,8 Both osteosynthesis materials and surgical approaches have evolved and have beneficial effects on postoperative results. 3 Computerized tomography represents a diagnostic instrument and a proven tool for the estimation of a postoperative course.…”

Aim: To evaluate the health-related life quality of patients after surgically treated midface fractures. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores of 42 male patients following surgically treated maxillary or zygomatic fractures with the reported normative data of the SF-36 for the Croatian population. Results: The current study showed that the health-related life quality of surgically treated patients was comparable to similar age, gender, and regional demographics in the Croatian population norm. However, we revealed a significant deterioration of the "Emotional wellbeing" domain in younger patients (P = 0.03) and a severely affected domain of "Physical functioning" in older patients (P = 0.049). Conclusion: There was a significant negative psychological impact from facial trauma on younger patients. In contrast, older patients were more prone to physical impairment. Therefore, follow-up visits are an opportunity to screen and refer younger patients to mental health services in a timely manner to prevent severe psychological difficulties and an opportunity to identify older patients who require physical therapy.

“…The midface has numerous sinuses supported by either vertically or horizontally oriented struts of bone. Also referred to as “pillars” or “buttresses”, their importance has been emphasized with architectural analyses of the human skull using transillumination and gross observation 22,23 . These buttresses are designed as a basic “truss” or “frame”, which is a triangle.…”

“…In 3 dimensions the basic truss is a tetrahedron (3‐sided pyramid)––simply 4 triangles that can resist distortion in any direction 3‐dimensionally 22 . In humans, the vertical buttresses of the midface are the most important clinically for management of midface fractures 9–12,17,22–24 . These buttresses are divided into 3 principal regions: nasomaxillary (anterior, or medial) buttress, zygomaticomaxillary (lateral) buttress, and pterygomaxillary (posterior) buttress 9–12,17,22–24 .…”

This newly proposed facial fracture classification scheme provides a convenient, specific, descriptive, and reproducible method of denoting fracture patterns. This scheme may be used to accurately communicate and compare, in greater detail than permitted using current independent classification schemes, the essential site and degree-of-severity characteristics of facial fractures critical to their surgical reduction and reconstruction. The usefulness of this classification scheme in determining optimal methods and subsequent outcomes in midfacial fracture reduction requires further investigation.
