Medical Conditions - Facial Bone Fracture

A facial fracture is a damaged bone in the face. High-impact mishaps, such as motor vehicle accidents, sports damages, workplace accidents, and falls are the main causes of facial bone fracture. Fractures are treated by a closed reduction method(arranging the broken bone or bones without surgery) or an open reduction (surgery that requires an incision to move the fractured bones).
