Popis: Among the myriad injuries seen in the emergency department, facial trauma is one of the most common. Trauma to the maxillofacial area mandates special attention. Due to their close proximity and frequent involvement, the vital structures in the head and neck region must be evaluated whenever the head and face are injured. Medical literature suggests that early repair of facial injuries, within hours or days, results in better outcomes for function and appearance.
