“…A total of 1190 patients were analysed, of which 123 cases of orbital blowout fractures were noted. [ 9 ] In another study conducted by Patil et al . for the analysis of the pattern of orbital fractures, in Aurangabad, India, the orbital floor was the most commonly affected site with up to 73.8% of total patients with orbital fractures.…”

Rationale: An orbital fracture is said to be a pure blowout when it affects only one internal orbital wall and does not compromise the orbital rim. Pure blowout fracture of the orbital floor without any other associated facial bone fracture is uncommon. Patient Concerns: The patient with a history of assault presented with complaints of blurring of vision and diplopia. Diagnosis: Computed tomography of paranasal sinus scans and ophthalmologic examination confirmed the right orbital floor fracture. Treatment: Herniated orbital contents were retrieved and the orbital floor was reconstructed with titanium mesh under general anaesthesia. Outcomes: The patient was followed up regularly for six months and showed no signs of any visual disturbances. Take-away Lessons: Although orbital floor fractures are commonly associated with zygomaticomaxillary complex and midface fractures, it is uncommon as an isolated finding in facial trauma. It can be easily misdiagnosed and left untreated, which can give rise to future complications.

“…Dentomaxillofacial (DMF) injuries can affect hard and soft tissues of the upper, middle and lower face, extending from the area of the frontal bone to the mandible, including the teeth and oral cavity. 1 In 2019, 178 million new fractures were reported worldwide, with a prevalence of facial bone fractures of 10.7 million. These numbers are noteworthy given the significant role as these regions play in the sustainability of physiological processes such as respiration, speaking, mastication and vision.…”

Artificial intelligence in detecting dentomaxillofacial fractures in diagnostic imaging: a scoping review protocol

et al. 2023

IntroductionThe dentomaxillofacial (DMF) area, which includes the teeth, maxilla, mandible, zygomaticum, orbits and midface, plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the physiological functions despite its susceptibility to fractures, which are mostly caused by mechanical trauma. As a diagnostic tool, radiographic imaging helps clinicians establish a diagnosis and determine a treatment plan; however, the presence of human factors in image interpretation can result in missed detection of fractures. Therefore, an artificial intelligence (AI) computing system with the potential to help detect abnormalities on radiographic images is currently being developed. This scoping review summarises the literature and assesses the current status of AI in DMF fracture detection in diagnostic imaging.Methods and analysisThis proposed scoping review will be conducted using the framework of Arksey and O’Malley, with each step incorporating the recommendations of Levacet al. By using relevant keywords based on the research questions. PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Springerlink, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and ProQuest will be the databases used in this study. The included studies are published in English between 1 January 2000 and 30 June 2023. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts, followed by full-text screening and data extraction, which will comprise three components: research study characteristics, comparator and AI characteristics.Ethics and disseminationThis study does not require ethical approval because it analyses primary research articles. The research findings will be distributed through international conferences and peer-reviewed publications.

Introduction Maxillofacial fractures are often associated with severe morbidity, functional deficit, disfigurement and significant financial implications. The aim of this review was to investigate whether the aetiology, prevalence and management modalities of facial trauma can identify the common causes of facial trauma with a view to recommending measures to the appropriate governing bodies to change the current practice wherever possible. Methods The records of 1,112 patients referred to our oral and maxillofacial unit in Andhra Pradesh, India, between February 2008 and October 2017 were analysed retrospectively. Data including age, sex, aetiology, fracture site and treatment were evaluated. Results Men aged 20–40 years were the most common victims of facial trauma. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) were responsible in 70% of cases. Mandibular fractures constituted 47% of the overall fractures, and 55% of the total fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Conclusions The main cause of maxillofacial injury among patients reporting to our hospital was RTAs. Mandibular fractures were the most common, accounting for almost half of the cases. Over half (55%) of all maxillofacial fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Reasons for this high frequency may include the large number of poorly maintained, overloaded vehicles on unsuitable roads, violation of traffic regulations (particularly by inexperienced young drivers), abuse of alcohol or other intoxicating agents and the sociocultural behaviours of some drivers.
