Le Fort I fracture multidisciplinary treatment
Keywords:
Le Fort 1 fracture, midface fracture, multidisciplinary team, traumatology.Abstract
Introduction: Fractures of the middle third of the face are a serious medical problem due to their complexity, frequency and socioeconomic impact.
Objective: To describe the comprehensive clinical-surgical management performed on a patient with a Le Fort 1 fracture.
Case report: We report the case of a 33-year-old patient with facial trauma, bone loss at the nation level in the antero-posterior direction, nasal and dento-alveolar mandibular fracture. Surgery was decided for the reduction and osteosynthesis of the fracture with miniplates. After removal, the suture was assessed by the multidisciplinary team that included a prosthetic and orthodontic consultation.
Conclusions: In treatment planning, a systematic therapeutic approach is necessary, focused on objectives for the surgical team, the orthodontist and the prosthetist, and thereby achieve the aesthetic and functional restoration of the stomatognathic system.
