Can facial fractures heal on their own?

Facial fractures usually heal on their own. The blood circulation in the face is rich, so if a fracture occurs, clinical healing is usually achieved in about four weeks. There is usually no local pressure pain, and the fracture line is blurred or there is bone scab growth on the X-ray or CT, so clinical healing can be achieved. In addition, there are several fractures that should be noted: 1) nasal fracture, because it is easy to displace the nose, it is best to check the CT of the nose to confirm whether the fracture is displaced or not; if the fracture is displaced, it may affect the appearance in the future, so surgery is generally recommended; 2) mandibular fracture, because it is related to the speech and eating of the mouth, if the mandible is significantly displaced after the fracture, it must be internal fixation with an incisional repositioning plate. If there is not much displacement, the fracture must be fixed teeth, fixed fracture end, and avoid eating and talking often, the fracture can heal by itself. Professionally, the gold standard for treatment of orthopedic maxillofacial fractures is restoration of the occlusal relationship, followed by appearance, and a good orthopedic surgeon will individualize the design for the condition, taking into account both functional and cosmetic restoration.
