Outcome and complications after treatment of facial fractures at different times in polytrauma patients

Finding the correct point of time for operative treatment of facial fractures in multiply injured people remains one of the most important challenges in modern emergency medicine. Findings relating to pathophysiological mechanisms after severe trauma argue against the early operative treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Our retrospective analysis investigated the effects on complications and outcome of different time points for operative treatment of maxillofacial fractures in multiply injured patients.
