Case 5 - Le Fort Summary

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

Before we go on to the tripod fractures,

0:04

let us say Au revoir to René Le Fort, and just

0:10

repeat and relook at these diagrams.

0:13

So burn these diagrams into your head because these are the

0:16

planes of fractures that we see very commonly among

0:20

our trauma patients. Those of the La Fort one.

0:24

The La Fort two, going across the zygomatic maxillary region,

0:30

orbital floor, medial orbital wall,

0:32

and then those going across the plane of

0:35

the orbits and the medial orbital wall.

0:38

People sometimes will use the term, in

0:40

this case, craniofacial separation,

0:42

because you have the cranial fragment which is separated

0:45

from the mid face. And with that we will say abiento.
