Higher rates of infection are associated with a higher Gustilo classification, where the risk of infection with a grade III fracture are up to 19.2% and a grade I or II fracture can have a 7.2% risk of infection. [35] Deep infection is more likely with increasing amounts of time between injury sustainment and antibiotic administration. [34]
Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations and bruises, or fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw, as well as trauma such as eye injuries. Symptoms are specific to the type of injury; for example, fractures may involve pain, swelling, loss of function, or changes in the ...
The Le Fort III fracture (transverse fracture) occurs at the level of the skull base, resulting in complete craniofacial separation of the midface from the base of the skull. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The fracture line extends through the zygomatic arch , the pterygoid plates , the lateral and medial orbital walls , the nasal bones , and the nasal septum .
"Le Fort II fractures": (pyramidal) The result of a blow to the lower or mid maxilla. "Le Fort III fractures": (transverse) Also called craniofacial separation, the result of impact to the nasal bridge or upper maxilla. [5] In some instances, maxillary fractures are a combination of two or three Le Fort types. Although this system of ...
It is typically caused by a basilar skull fracture, which presents complications such as infection. It may be diagnosed using brain scans (prompted based on initial symptoms), and by testing to see if discharge from the nose is cerebrospinal fluid. Treatment may be conservative (as many cases resolve spontaneously), but usually involves ...
Class II – Extensive fracture of crown involving considerable dentin but not exposing the dental pulp. Class III – Extensive fracture of crown involving considerable dentin and exposing the dental pulp. Class IV – The traumatized tooth that becomes nonvital with or without loss of crown structure. Class V – Total tooth loss—avulsion.

Fracture blisters pop up in trauma patients, but are relatively rare and only occur in 2.9% of patients with a fracture requiring hospitalization. [3] A fracture blister typically occurs near fractures where the skin has little subcutaneous tissue between it and bone. These include elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists.
