Facial Fractures
Facial fractures refer to broken bones in your face. This type of facial trauma (also called maxillofacial trauma) can happen if you’re involved in an accident, such as a car crash or fall. Facial fractures are also common among victims of physical assault and gunshot wounds. Your facial bones are thinner than a lot of other bones in your body, making them prone to injury.

Types of Facial Fractures
Mandible
A mandible facial fracture, also known as a mandibular fracture or jaw fracture, refers to a break or fracture in the lower jawbone (mandible). It is a relatively common type of facial fracture and can occur due to various causes, such as trauma, accidents, sports injuries, or physical altercations.
Mandible fractures can result from different types of trauma, including:
• Direct impact: A direct blow to the jaw, such as from a punch or a sports-related injury, can cause a fracture.
• Motor vehicle accidents: High-velocity collisions or accidents involving the face can result in mandible fractures.
• Falls: A fall onto the face or jaw can lead to a jawbone fracture.
• Physical altercations: Fights or assaults can result in fractures of the jawbone.
