Le Fort fracture anatomy

Le Forts classification of mid-facial fractures describes patterns of bone fractures. A key concept here is how the bones of the face can become separated from the bones of the cranium.

Thank you. Perhaps you've inspired the next generation of Maxillofacial Surgeons, having worked in theatre for nearly 30 years as a qualified nurse/anaesthetic nurse. It's utterly amazing watching the facial repairs made by Maxillofacial surgeons, ENT surgeons, Neuro surgeons and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. Depending on the injuries there may be a colaberation between two or more of these specialities. ANY chance you ever get to go to the operating theatre please go. The anatomy you see is completely different from cadavers, illustrations and models. It can take a bit of getting used to, just beware blood does smell, so don't go if you have a hangover - personal experience!!

I've seen a young woman with a LeFort III from an auto accident. Ghastly sight.

Thanks. Very interesting. As an adult I had a Le Fort I procedure done to advance my upper jaw to align my teeth after 3 years of braces. The surgeon cut the maxilla to free the upper jaw and repositioned it with titanium brackets and screws.

Can you make a video of the temporo-mandibular joint please?

my cousin finished med school 5 years ago , i am in my second year and she recommended your content. i am the second generation in my family watching your videos.

Had a weird thought but. I find it weird the type 3 classification "lines up" with the Frontalis and the Zygomatic arch(Temporalis) muscles. Am guessing/hoping there might also be a sympathetic/parasympathetic separation line around there ? Like how the temporalis muscle contracts when under emotionnal stress, and how "angry eyebrows" are also a kind of fight-response to protect the eyes. Having a para/sympa separation there would also be a lucky explanation for "emotionnal freeze" -facial freeze when something stressful happens.

My neighbor was driving home and was tired and fell asleep. His head impacted the windshield face forward. He received multiple fractures in his face and compaction of his sinuses. He received care in Phoenix, AZ of his face first followed by dental reconstruction. Surprisingly he didn’t have any brain damage. I’m sorry I can’t give better description because I’m not a medical provider.

I have a question, which type of Le Fort fracture is the maxillary sinus most commonly involved? Is it type 1 or 2?

[@WisdomJonathan-uc7wm]

Thanks Sam, I will soon become a doctor. I have been watching your videos since my first year. Thanks a million
