ABSTRACT
Facial fracture treatment ranges from the straightforward to the very complex. In all cases,
however, the goal is to recreate the preinjury appearance and function of the patient’s facial
structures. The surgical approach is guided by the physician’s clinical judgment that
individualizes treatment according to the severity of the fracture and associated injuries. The
definitive repair is carried out in one operative procedure, which will determine the degree of
success or perfection achieved. Therefore, careful evaluation, diagnosis, and preoperative
planning are critical to achieve the best surgical results.
