The mandible is one of the most frequently fractured facial bone, most commonly by automobile accidents followed by fall from heights. However, segmental avulsion of mandible, that too in pediatric population is rarely reported. We report a case of 10-year-old male child sustaining facial injury following fall from a tree, resulting in complete segmental avulsion of the mandible highlighting the importance of early plastic surgery referral to optimize treatment outcomes. After clinical and radiological evaluation, the patient underwent free fibula osseocutaneous flap reconstruction. Given the greater healing potential of facial bones in younger patients, re-fixation of the avulsed segment would have been considered if presenting well within time.

Peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNFS) can effectively manage pain localized to one or two dermatomes that are refractory to conventional approaches, such as chronic low back pain. However, its utility in pain management in the upper limbs is limited due to the risk of lead displacement related to articular and mobile segment constraints.In this technical note, we describe a 58-year-old man with neuropathic pain refractory to extensive medical treatment, and dorsal root entry zone lesion.

Purpose Of Review: This systematic review investigates the recent literature and aims to determine the approach, efficacy, and timing of facial nerve decompression with or without grafting in temporal bone fractures with facial palsy.
Recent Findings: The surgical management of facial palsy is reserved for a small population of cases in which electrophysiologic tests indicate a poor likelihood of spontaneous recovery. The transmastoid (TM), middle cranial fossa (MCF), and translabyrinthine (TL) approaches to the facial nerve provide access to the entire intracranial and intratemporal segments of the facial nerve.
