Quick Review #148 - #surgery #surgeon #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #omfs #dentist #dentistry #dental #facialtrauma #facialbones #fracture #fractures

The top 5 most common facial bones that get fractured are:

1. Nasal bones - These are the most frequently fractured facial bones.

2. Zygomatic bones (cheekbones) - Commonly fractured due to their prominence on the face.

3. Mandible (jawbone) - Frequently fractured, accounting for a significant percentage of facial fractures.

4. Orbital bones (bones around the eye) - These include the orbital rim and the floor of the orbit.

5. Maxilla (upper jawbone) - Often fractured in high-impact injuries.

Quick Review #147 - #surgery #surgeon #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #omfs #dentist #dentistry #dental

Fracture Types and Locations by Age Group:

Children (0-12 years):

1. Greenstick Fractures:

• Location: Typically in the body or angle of the mandible.

• Reason: The elastic nature of children’s bones often results in incomplete fractures where the bone bends but does not break completely.

2. Condyle Fractures:

• Location: Mandibular condyle.

• Reason: Active growth centers and higher elasticity can lead to fractures at the condyle due to indirect forces during trauma.

Adolescents (13-18 years):

1. Condyle Fractures:

• Location: Mandibular condyle.

• Reason: Although less elastic than in childhood, the condyle remains a common fracture site due to its role in jaw biomechanics and remaining growth centers.

2. Body and Angle Fractures:

• Location: Body and angle of the mandible.

• Reason: Increased bone density and permanent dentition provide a stable structure, but these regions remain susceptible to fractures due to their anatomical positions.

Adults (19-64 years):

1. Angle Fractures:

• Location: Angle of the mandible.

• Reason: The angle is a common fracture site due to its anatomical structure and role in mastication.

2. Body Fractures:

• Location: The body of the mandible.

• Reason: Dense bone and strong cortical layer, yet the body remains vulnerable during significant trauma.

Older Adults (65+ years):

1. Condyle Fractures:

• Location: Mandibular condyle.

• Reason: Reduced bone quality and altered biomechanics due to aging increase the incidence of condyle fractures.

2. Angle and Body Fractures:

• Location: The angle and body of the mandible.

• Reason: Thinner cortical bone, alveolar ridge resorption, and less support from surrounding tissues make these areas more prone to fractures.

3. Symphysis and Parasymphysis Fractures:

• Location: Midline and near-midline areas.

• Reason: Although less common, these fractures can occur due to direct trauma, with the overall weakening of the mandibular structure making these regions more susceptible.

Quick Review #146 - #surgery #surgeon #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #omfs #dentist #dentistry #dental

Locking Bone Screws:

1. Mechanism:

• Locking screws engage both the bone and the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct. The screw threads lock into the plate holes.

2. Stability:

• Provide more stable fixation, especially in osteoporotic bone or comminuted fractures where bone quality may be compromised.

• Reduces the risk of the screws loosening from the bone over time.

3. Biomechanics:

• Create a more rigid fixation system that distributes stress more evenly between the bone and the plate.

• Less dependence on the bone’s quality, as the screw-plate interface provides the majority of the stability.

4. Application:

• Particularly beneficial in cases where bone fragments are small or in poor quality bone where traditional screw purchase might be unreliable.

• Often preferred in complex or multi-fragmentary fractures.

Non-Locking Bone Screws:

1. Mechanism:

• Non-locking screws compress the plate against the bone. The stability is primarily dependent on the friction between the plate and the bone surface.

2. Stability:

• Stability is more dependent on the quality of the bone. If the bone is weak or osteoporotic, the risk of screw loosening increases.

• Suitable for simple fractures with good bone quality.

3. Biomechanics:

• Allow for some micro-movement between the plate and bone, which can be beneficial in certain types of fracture healing (e.g., indirect healing with callus formation).

• More reliant on the bone-plate interface for stability.

4. Application:

• Often used in situations where the bone quality is good, and the fracture is not highly comminuted.

• Generally less expensive and easier to handle in straightforward fractures.

Clinical Considerations:

• Patient Factors:

-In elderly patients or those with compromised bone quality, locking screws may provide more reliable fixation.

-In younger patients with good bone quality, non-locking screws may be sufficient.

• Fracture Type:

-Comminuted or complex fractures may benefit from the additional stability provided by locking screws.

-Simple, non-complex fractures can often be managed effectively with non-locking screws.
