Facial Fractures
Facial fractures are breaks in the bones of the face, often resulting from trauma such as accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Common types include fractures of the nasal bones, cheekbones, and jaw. Symptoms may include swelling, bruising, pain, and difficulty moving the jaw or breathing.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans. Treatment options vary based on the severity of the fracture and may include pain management, realignment of bones, or surgery. Proper care is essential to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
