Description:
This session covers the assessment, investigation and management of injuries to the bones of the midface; the zygoma, zygomatic arch, maxilla, orbit and nose.
After completing this session you will be able to:
- Describe the clinical anatomy of the zygomatic and nasal complex
- Identify the clinical features of fractures to the zygoma, nose and surrounding structures
- Recognise the signs and symptoms of important complications of zygomatic and nasal injury, and institute appropriate management
- Formulate an appropriate investigation strategy for zygomatic and nasal injury
