Fractures of the parasymphysis occur in 15% of all cases of mandibular fracture. The mandible occupies the lowest portion of the face. The prominent bone of the face is severely injured when the lower face is hit by high impacts with upward or obliquely directed force. In this case study, we discussed the alleged trauma case of a 20-year-old man who fell from a height on August 27, 2022, at about 9:00 p.m. near Wardha. His family took him to the hospital in Wardha due to pain that was aggravated during chewing and swelling in his jaw. On investigation, an X-ray was done, and a left parasymphysis and right-side body fracture were noticed. Later, the patient underwent surgery, where open reduction and internal fixation of the left parasymphysis and the right-side body fracture with plating and intermaxillary fixation (IMF) were done. Then he was referred to the physiotherapy department for therapeutic intervention. Rehabilitation was given to reduce pain and swelling, regain full range of motion, gradually increase mobility, and keep associated muscles strong. A six-week protocol was administered to the patient. It was found that the therapeutic approach was quite effective for the patient.
Le Fort fractures are a specific kind of facial bone fracture that develops after a blow to the face. Most of the fractures of the spine occur in the thoracolumbar region. The benefits of physiotherapy, which includes manual therapies and exercise regimens, for patients are becoming more and more clear. We are going to report the case of a 25-year-old male adult with a thoracolumbar fracture and a Le Fort fracture. We made an effort to develop a post-surgical physical therapy rehabilitation program. The patient's condition and general quality of life were successfully improved. We focused on the patient's primary symptoms, which were thoracolumbar discomfort, lower limb weakness, edema and pain on the left side of the face, trismus, and restricted mouth opening. We worked on the complaints mentioned by the patient and were successful in resolving them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
