Abstract
The middle third maxillofacial fractures are the second common maxillofacial fractures which coming very closely after mandibular fractures and the highest incidence being in 21-30 year age group for both males and females. Many etiological factors are responsible nowadays especially MY A. The bones of the middle third of the face are relatively thin and poor; reinforced, and the fracture dislocations frequently occur through the bones an( suture lines alike, allowing this part of the facial skeleton to act as compressible energy-absorbing shield that gives on impact, and absorbs enough energy t( protect the brain, spinal cord, and other vital structures. The middle third maxillofacial fractures are classified into central and lateral types, although in clinical practice, these are frequently combined. Clinically: special notes and common characters should be made of epitasis, ecchymosis, swelling and marked displacement or deviation of the facial bones which may resulted in a distortion of the patient’s normal features. Since maxillary fractures often involve the nasal bone and supporting structures, the nose should be carefully examined for damage to the bone and soft tissue.
