John E. Sherman, MD discusses Facial Fractures and Repair

Dr. Sherman is a recognized expert in facial trauma, and has been teaching the repair and treatment of maxillofacial trauma for over 35 years at The New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center. He is a member of The American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons and is a co-author of a recognized textbook for the treatment of these injuries. Patients come to him from all over the country and around the world to help reconstruct their facial bones after fractures. Dr. Sherman works with a multi-specialty team to address all the issues and tissues involved within a simple or complex facial fracture: fractures of the maxilla, mid face, sinuses and orbits. The spectrum of injuries range from the simple (nasal fractures, broken noses) to the repair of complex Le Fort fractures, which will be discussed below. Over the years treatment has evolved from the simple placement of wires to rigid fixation with titanium screws and plates. Imaging has also evolved from simple X-rays to CT scans and 3-D reconstructions which help the surgeon visualize injuries prior to surgery.
