What are Pediatric Facial Fractures?

A fracture is another word for a broken bone. When your child is diagnosed with a facial fracture this means they have broken a bone in their face. Facial fractures often result from various types of high impact trauma including car accidents, falls and sports injuries.

How are Pediatric Facial Fractures diagnosed?

Your doctor will do a physical exam if they think your child has a facial fracture. If needed, X-rays or a CT scan will then be ordered to evaluate the condition of the bones.

How are Pediatric Facial Fractures treated?

At Children's Health℠, our craniofacial experts will determine if surgery is needed for your child’s facial fracture(s). Often, no surgery is needed, and the bones will heal on their own. Your doctor may recommend eating soft foods and avoiding further injury (for example, no contact sports) while this occurs. Your child will be seen in our outpatient clinic on a routine basis to ensure the bones heal well. If surgery is required, our team of craniofacial experts use state-of-the-art surgical procedures and equipment to ensure your child has the best possible outcome.
