Facial Trauma Repair
Welcome to the Division Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, at the Osborne Head and Neck Institute, world-renowned experts in the diagnosis and treatment of cranio-nasal-facial trauma and sports injury.
We are experts in the management of facial trauma including nasal fractures (the broken nose), orbital blowout fractures, mandible fractures (jaw fractures), zygoma fractures (cheek fractures), sinus fractures, lacerations and scar revisions.
Nasal Fracture
Nasal fractures are the most common facial trauma or sports related injury. Immediate evaluation is required to prevent late complications.
Cheek Fracture
Zygoma or cheek fractures occur most commonly from falls on unpadded surfaces. The zygoma is an important support for the eyes and teeth.
Jaw Fracture
Mandible or maxillary fractures involve the bones that support and protect the teeth.
Good alignment is paramount for normal function.
Orbital Blowout
Orbital blowout fractures involve the “eye socket” and are common after a errant blow to the eye. Early treatment prevents impaired vision.
Neck Injury
Neck injuries are commonly associated with facial trauma. Proper diagnosis and management helps avoid long-term problems.
Ear Injury
Untreated ear injuries can cause severe deformity. Prompt therapy can prevent cauliflower or wrestler’s ear commonly seen in MMA.
