Our experience with coronal approach to pan facial fractures

Pan facial trauma in our field poses a clinical challenge right from its inception in diagnosis to its approach due to lack of clarity amongst surgeons regarding various principles and protocols. Advanced imaging from 3D reconstructions provide a at par level idea into the real of complex fractures but fail when clinically opened by the surgeon. One way to avoid mulitple scars and provide satisfaction to the patient as well as the surgeon is in applying an old but simple technique being the bicoronal approach. A mix of top to bottom and inside out approaches also pave way to a new advent in apporaching pan facial trauma. Our case report shows the simple use of a coronal flap, altough very technical and complicated, showed almost no post operative complications with satisfactory results.
