Turn a swollen or bleeding face into a time-sensitive injury map by protecting airway and vision, performing a reproducible examination, reviewing CT systematically, and assigning urgency.
Manage upper-face trauma through vision, orbital mechanics, sinus drainage, and intracranial separation—localizing diplopia, planning reconstruction, and applying a structured frontal-sinus decision framework.
Restore midface dimensions by selecting trustworthy references, rebuilding the maxillary platform and buttresses, and verifying nasal, canthal, malar, orbital, and occlusal relationships together.
Use occlusion, ring biomechanics, fracture pattern, condylar function, and independent verification to plan mandibular stabilization, rehabilitation, and complication surveillance.
Assess and repair facial soft-tissue wounds as functional injuries, protecting eyelids, lacrimal drainage, facial nerve, parotid duct, free borders, tissue viability, and scar outcomes.
Plan panfacial reconstruction by identifying trustworthy references, restoring coupled facial dimensions, sequencing fixation, verifying geometry independently, and analyzing early or late failure.
