Treatment is typically with pain medication and cold compresses. [1] Reduction, if needed, can typically occur after the swelling has come down. [1] Depending on the type of fracture reduction may be closed or open. [3] Outcomes are generally good. [5] Nasal fractures are common, comprising about 40% of facial fractures.
A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, F x, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [1]
Commonly injured facial bones include the nasal bone (the nose), the maxilla (the bone that forms the upper jaw), and the mandible (the lower jaw). The mandible may be fractured at its symphysis, body, angle, ramus, and condyle. [4] The zygoma (cheekbone) and the frontal bone (forehead) are other sites for fractures. [13]
Fractures with displacement require surgery consisting of fracture reduction with miniplates, microplates and screws. Gillie's approach is used for depressed zygomatic fractures. [5] The prognosis of tripod fractures is generally good. In some cases there may be persistent post-surgical facial asymmetry, which can require further treatment. [6]

The two broad categories of blowout fractures are open door and trapdoor fractures. Open door fractures are large, displaced and comminuted, and trapdoor fractures are linear, hinged, and minimally displaced. [4] The hinged orbital blowout fracture is a fracture with an edge of the fractured bone attached on either side. [5]

Bone fractures result from significant trauma to the bone. This trauma can come from a variety of forces – a direct blow, axial loading, angular forces, torque, or a mixture of these. [11] There are various fracture types, including closed, open, stress, simple, comminuted, greenstick, displaced, transverse, oblique. [12] [13]
