Maxillofacial Trauma Fractures

Maxillectomy (partial or total)

Stable Fixation, Restored Facial Harmony

Open and closed reduction are techniques to realign and stabilize facial bone fractures—mandibular, zygomatico-orbital complex (ZMC), Le Fort, or orbital floor/roof—restoring proper anatomy and function. Closed reduction manipulates fragments externally and secures them with archbars or rigid fixation wires under local or sedation. Open reduction involves surgical exposure of fracture lines with internal fixation using plates and screws.

Personalized Treatment Plan:

Dr. Singhavi determines the optimal approach via CT 3D reconstructions and occlusal analysis. Non-displaced or minimally displaced fractures may be treated with closed reduction and maxillomandibular fixation (MMF). Displaced, comminuted, or complex fractures require open reduction: under general anesthesia, he accesses sites through intraoral or extraoral incisions, realigns fragments, and applies miniplates or reconstruction plates with torque-controlled screws. Postoperative instructions include a soft-diet regimen, oral hygiene protocols, and antibiotic prophylaxis. MMF is released once stability is confirmed, often within one to two weeks.

Benefits : 

By choosing the least invasive yet effective technique, Dr. Singhavi minimizes soft-tissue disruption and scarring. Closed methods reduce operative time and hospital stay, while open fixation secures precise alignment and early return to function. Restored occlusion, symmetric facial contours, and intact ocular motility prevent long-term complications such as malocclusion, enophthalmos, or trismus. Early mobilization and tailored physiotherapy accelerate recovery, enabling patients to resume normal diet, speech, and social activities with confidence.
