Abstract:
Maxillofacial injuries, particularly maxilla fractures, can have significant implications for an individual's overall health and well-being, especially when they occur as a result of a work-related accident. In this study, we will explore the medical and surgical therapies available for maxilla fractures resulting from work-related accidents. The medical therapy options may include pain management, antibiotics to prevent infection, and possibly the use of nasal decongestants to ease breathing. On the other hand, surgical therapy may involve open reduction and internal fixation of the fractured bones, which aims to align the bone fragments and stabilize them with the use of specialized hardware. Furthermore, we will analyze the outcomes of these therapies, considering factors such as recovery time, functional and aesthetic results, and potential complications. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the available treatment options for maxilla fractures, ultimately contributing to the improvement of patient care and outcomes in the context of work-related injuries.
