ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Facial injuries caused by motorcycle accidents represent a challenge for reconstructions. Currently, the most indicated treatment for facial fractures is anatomical reduction and internal fixation, however, this procedure is not exempt from complications, such as infection and exposure of osteosynthesis material, thus requiring a new surgical procedure and repair. In this study, the authors describe a case of a 60-year-old woman who was the victim of a motorcycle accident and developed exposure of osteosynthesis material on the nasal dorsum after treatment of facial fractures. The patient underwent surgical treatment with objective of removing the osteosynthesis material and associated infected tissue, as well as reconstruction using a paramedian frontal flap, which resulted in a harmonic relationship and skin color similar to the recipient area. This case shows the importance of anatomical knowledge and reconstructive techniques for hard and soft tissues.
