ABSTRACT
A basic understanding of midface fractures is essential for those involved in the initial evaluation, emergency and general management, diagnosis, specialty consultation, and maxillofacial surgery of patients with fractures of the maxilla. To achieve the goal of restoring proper form and function to the upper jaw and face, one must be able to recognize, diagnose, and treat maxillary fractures. This requires knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the midface, as well as modalities of evaluation and treatment. Each of these topics are summarized in this paper.
