ABSTRACT

Introduction. Facial trauma is associated with important functional and aesthetic defects; therefore a quick and correct management improves the functional and aesthetic results. Patients and Methods. Retrospective, observational and descriptive study where we analized the Medical charts of the patients who had posttraumatic face reconstruction by plastic surgeons, between January 2006 until December 2009. Results. We analized 51 cases of facial trauma; men where more affected, half age was 29.33 years, the main kind of trauma was blunt trauma (car crash), the most common type of treatment was urgent surgery, the most common fracture: orbital floor. We used titanium miniplates to fix them and for the orbital floor we used titanium mesh. The operative time was about 120 minutes average. Conclusion. This, a retrospective study; shows that here at Médica Sur Hospital, are seen the same kind of facial trauma fractures that those reported in the literature and that urgent repair made by plastic surgeons has great aesthetic and functional outcome.
