Abstract

The evaluation and management of a patient with panfacial fractures are multifaceted. Herein, we describe basic facial skeletal anatomy, considerations for airway securing, and common concurrent injuries. Finally, we discuss primary and secondary reconstructions of facial trauma including sequencing of repair, available landmarks, and the utility of intraoperative computed tomography imaging and virtual surgical planning with custom implants.
