PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Pediatric facial fracture management differs from that in adults in that in takes into account developmental anatomy as well as different fracture patterns. Cranial-facial ratio, sinus pneumatization, bone compliance, and developing dentition cause the distinctions. Current management strategies for nasal bone, orbital floor, zygomaticomaxillary, and mandible fracture patterns will be discussed. Options for pediatric maxillomandibular fixation options will be reviewed and compared. Resorbable plating systems used in this population versus traditional non-resorbable systems will be discussed. This has been identified as a gap topic and this panel will highlight important points in management of this population through case discussion as well in addressing equity in receiving trauma care.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe patterns of facial fractures in the pediatric population as compared to adults based on developmental anatomy.
  2. Evaluate factors in pediatric facial fractures relating to management that differs from the adult population.
  3. Demonstrate understanding in management considerations in pediatric facial fractures.
