Facial fractures are cracked bones. Contains of a fracture of the nose (broken nose) Frontal bone (forehead), zygomas (cheekbones), orbital bone (eye sockets), maxillary bone (upper jaw) and lower jaw bone. Most forms of facial fractures are relatively mild, but others may cause lasting damage and can be life-threatening. This is why it is imperative to identify proper treatment before severe complications can take place.

Whenever a person visits the doctor’s office with a suspected facial fracture, there may be signs of tenderness and discomfort at the fracture site. The face can be numb or exhibit swelling at the fracture site. When a fracture occurs at the level of the nose or at the main part of the neck, it may be difficult to breathe or swallow. There may be blood or other forms of fluid in the nose. If a fracture occurs in the jaw bone or nearby parts of the face, there may be an unusual bite or an incapability to open the mouth completely. Severe cuts or lacerations of the gums mean that the fracture is “open” and is prone to infection.

It depends on the particular injury, how serious it is, and whether you have any other complications at that moment. The doctor’s goal will be to get the bones to return to its original state. This is considered the “reduction” of the fracture. He’s still going to want to maintain the bones in place to avoid further damage. Doctors call this a dislocation “fixing.” You might need surgery. Or, your doctor may use plates, screws, wires, or other tools to correct your injury.
