Facial fractures are a common source of emergency department consultations for the plastic surgeon. A working understanding of the evaluation, the assessment, the management, and the prevention of further injury when dealing with these fractures is vital. This second of a two-part series detailing the management of midfacial fractures serves as a guide for the appropriate workup and management of the wide variety of fracture patterns that are commonly encountered.

Midface fractures present a clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology due to their often complex injury pattern and nonspecific symptoms. Precise diagnostics, including differentiated imaging procedures, are required. Interdisciplinary consultation between otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology is often necessary.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the biomechanical stability of two magnesium alloys (WE43 and ZK60) with titanium (Ti-6Al-4 V) for use in LeFort I osteotomy, analyzing how different configurations respond under stress.
- The results showed that magnesium screws had varying stress levels in bone compared to titanium, with ZK60 plates presenting lower fracture risk and better stability.
- Despite promising stress distribution with magnesium alloys, the overall strength of the screws needs enhancement to be viable for bone fixation applications.

Ultrasound is today an essential element of otorhinolaryngology. During the course of (technical) development, fracture sonography has also gained increasing clinical and scientific interest. Sonography can already be used today as the imaging method of choice for isolated suspected fractures of the nasal or zygomatic bone.

Objective: The prevalent reliance on 2-wheelers as a preferred mode of private transportation in rural and semi-urban regions and the various associated social and material factors put riders at significant risk for road traffic accidents causing maxillofacial trauma. This epidemiological study aims to investigate these factors and their influence on patterns of maxillofacial injuries among 2-wheeler riders in semi-urban and rural areas of South India.
Methods: Data from all cases with maxillofacial injuries over 6 years were collected retrospectively, including demographic characteristics, accident specifics, helmet use, injury patterns, and management.
