Facial fractures are commonly encountered by plastic and maxillofacial surgeons. Although very diversified in nature, their treatment planning requires a thorough knowledge of the facial anatomy and advanced treatment modalities. With the advent of three-dimensional computed tomography, it has become a lot easier to diagnose and treat them accordingly. It is important to categorize facial fractures for an effective liaison between the radiologists, surgeons, and medical staff involved in their management. Various classification schemes have been made to classify them, but they are cumbersome to remember and communicate among treating doctors. We present a new yet simple facial fracture classification that is based on the facial buttresses involved. This helps in better and uniform management of fracture patterns and also anticipates future complications that may arise from such fractures, if any.
面部骨折是整形外科和颌面外科医生常见的病例。尽管其本质非常多样化，但其治疗方案需要对面部解剖结构有全面的了解以及掌握先进的治疗方法。随着三维计算机断层扫描技术的出现，相应地诊断和治疗这些骨折变得容易得多。对面部骨折进行分类对于参与其治疗的放射科医生、外科医生和医护人员之间的有效沟通很重要。已经制定了各种分类方案来对它们进行分类，但这些方案在治疗医生之间难以记忆和交流。我们提出了一种基于受累面部支柱的新的但简单的面部骨折分类方法。这有助于更好且统一地管理骨折类型，并且还能预测此类骨折可能出现的未来并发症（如果有的话）。
