Shetty, Dr.Nandesh and Ariga, Dr.Akanksha and Kumar, Dr.Karthik and R Shekhar, Dr.Adarsh (2025) Comminuted Le Fort Fractures with Palatal Involvement in a Geriatric Patient: A Case Report. International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology, 10 (8): 25aug1119. pp. 1787-1794. ISSN 2456-2165
Le Fort fractures are complex midfacial injuries often resulting from high-energy trauma. Management becomes particularly challenging in elderly patients with comorbidities, where surgical intervention must be tailored to minimize risk. This case report describes a 68-year-old male who sustained multiple facial fractures, including Le Fort I, Le Fort II, and palatal fractures, following a fall. The patient underwent closed reduction and fronto-central suspension wiring, with satisfactory postoperative recovery. The report highlights diagnostic considerations, treatment planning, and postoperative rehabilitation, with a literature review on geriatric maxillofacial trauma.
