[Primary management of facial skeleton injuries in patients treated at the maxillofacial surgery ward].
This study aimed at discussing 278 patients with facial skull fractures and injuries, being managed at the Maxillofacial Surgery Ward of the Voivodeship Specialist Hospital in Rzeszów within 1991-1998. There have been 201 male, 65 female and 12 paediatric patients, aged between 6 and 67 years. The majority of injures in 161 (57.9%) patients required simultaneous treatment of fractures and soft tissue lesions. 68 (24.6%) patients have had closed injuries and face wounds. In 49 (17.6%) patients reposition and immobilisation of fractures have been necessary. In most cases injures have been dressed at emergency room. Fractures of facial skull, coexisting with face injures and wounds, often required specialist treatment provided by the maxillofacial surgeon, laryngologist and ophthalmologist, combining reposition and immobilisation of fracture with the wire, Nichrominox plates and Champy miniplates, followed by wound dressing, according to the commonly approved rules of the primary medical care.
