What is facial fracture repair?

Facial fracture repair is a surgical procedure used to correct broken bones in the face resulting from trauma, such as accidents, injuries, or sports-related incidents. These fractures can occur in various parts of the face, including the nose, cheekbones, jaw, or around the eyes.

Common causes of facial fracture

Facial fractures can occur due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

Motor vehicle accidents: High-impact crashes can cause severe facial trauma, leading to fractures in the facial bones.
Sports injuries: Contact sports like football, hockey, or wrestling often result in injuries to the face.
Falls: Falling from a height or even tripping and falling can result in facial fractures, especially in older adults due to osteoporosis.
Physical assaults: Violent attacks can lead to facial fractures.
Workplace accidents: Certain jobs that involve heavy machinery or heights can have a higher risk of facial injuries.
Recreational activities: Activities like biking, skateboarding, or rollerblading without proper safety equipment can lead to accidents causing facial fractures.
Pedestrian accidents: Being struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian can result in severe facial injuries.
Childhood injuries: Children can sustain facial fractures from playground accidents or falls from bikes or scooters.
