The Le Fort III fracture (transverse fracture) occurs at the level of the skull base, resulting in complete craniofacial separation of the midface from the base of the skull. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The fracture line extends through the zygomatic arch , the pterygoid plates , the lateral and medial orbital walls , the nasal bones , and the nasal septum .
The Le Fort I osteotomy is named after René Le Fort's 1901 description of midface fracture patterns resulting from trauma, is a surgical procedure used to correct dentofacial deformities and, in some cases, facilitate tumor removal or complex fracture reduction. The procedure involves a horizontal osteotomy of the maxilla, separating it from ...
A Le Fort I osteotomy surgically moves the upper jaw to correct misalignment and deformities. It is used in the treatment for several conditions, including skeletal class II malocclusion, cleft lip and cleft palate, vertical maxillary excess (VME) or deficiency, and some specific types of facial trauma, particularly those affecting the mid-face.
The Le Fort III Osteotomy for oral and maxillofacial surgery, is used to correct generalised growth failure of the midface involving the upper jaw nose and cheek bones . [1] The surgical approach and post operative management is similar as for the Le Fort II procedure.
In some instances, maxillary fractures are a combination of two or three Le Fort types. Although this system of classification is considered somewhat simplistic today, it is still widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It was modified by Robert D Marciani in 1993 to more precisely define Le Fort fracture patterns. [6]
A skull fracture is a break in one or more of the eight bones that form the cranial portion of the skull, usually occurring as a result of blunt force trauma.If the force of the impact is excessive, the bone may fracture at or near the site of the impact and cause damage to the underlying structures within the skull such as the membranes, blood vessels, and brain.
soft and hard tissue trauma of the oral and maxillofacial region (jaw fractures, cheek bone fractures, nasal fractures, LeFort fracture, skull fractures and eye socket fractures). Dentoalveolar surgery (surgery to remove impacted teeth, difficult tooth extractions, extractions on medically compromised patients, bone grafting or preprosthetic ...
Le Fort fractures, which account for 10–20% of facial fractures, are often associated with other serious injuries. [15] Le Fort made his classifications based on work with cadaver skulls, and the classification system has been criticized as imprecise and simplistic since most midface fractures involve a combination of Le Fort fractures. [15 ...
