Article Synopsis
- - Condylar fractures are the most frequent type of jaw fractures, needing different surgical techniques for repair, each having specific advantages and risks.
- - A case study involved a 27-year-old man who had a severe fracture in the jaw that affected his bite alignment,
- - The treatment involved a surgical method combining approaches from both outside (preauricular) and inside the mouth (intraoral), allowing for better visibility and reducing the chance of long-term damage.
Background: The global burden of trauma disproportionately affects low-income countries and middle-income countries (LMIC), with variability in trauma systems between countries. Military and civilian healthcare systems have a shared interest in building trauma capacity for use during peace and war. However, in LMICs it is largely unknown if and how these entities work together.

Musculoskeletal trauma results in the majority of post-traumatic morbidity and disability globally. The literature has reported many performance indicators relating to trauma care, but few specific to musculoskeletal injuries.

Study Design: A 7-point medical complexity score was developed through an iterative group consensus of relative stakeholders to capture the spectrum of comorbidities among the aerodigestive population. One point was assigned for each comorbid diagnosis in the following categories: airway anomaly, neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genetic diagnoses, and prematurity.
