Which Fracture Type is this? What bones are involved?
Le Fort I Fracture
Horizontal above the level of the nasal floor, extends back through the Pterygoid plates and medially along the lateral nasal wall, nasal septum also fractured.
Le Fort II Fracture
Fracture runs from nasal bones downwards and laterally. It crosses the frontal process of the Maxilla, lacrimal bones, infraorbital rims, lateral walls of maxillary antrum and Pterygoid plates. Nasal septum is also fractured.
Le Fort III
Runs near frontonasal suture backwards involving full thickness of ethmoid bone. The fracture line continues laterally below optic foramens into posterior limit of the inferior orbital fissures and through the roots of the Pterygoid plates.
Lateral orbital wall and zygomatic complexes also fractured and thus the whole of the mid facial skeleton becomes detached from the skull base.
