Abstract Given the variability of the timing and order of surgeries, it is difficult to choose the best treatment for patients with complex facial fractures. Based on the clinical experiences, the authors have reviewed their experience with the timing and order of operations depending on the sites of complex facial fractures and their concurrent injuries. The current study was based on a total of 105 patients with complex facial fractures from the year 2002 to 2011. After assessing the patients…

The presence of an upper-level facial fracture, low Glasgow coma score, intracranial hemorrhage, displacement of normally midline cerebral structures, and multisystem trauma was associated with a statistically significant poorer prognosis, which in turn might influence the timing of facial fracture repair.

Patients sustaining comminuted Le Fort facial fractures report poorer health outcomes than patients with less severe facial injury and substantially worse outcomes than population norms, which is also this severely injured population that reports the greatest percentage of injury‐related disability, preventing employment at long‐term follow‐up.

The midface, because of weak bone structure and comminuted fracture pattern, must therefore be considered a dependent, less stable structure.
