Abstract

Sport can cause a wide variety of sometimes lifethreatening facial injuries, particularly as the face is the most exposed part of the body. Nevertheless, the majority of sports-related facial injuries are caused by blunt trauma, leading to consistent fracture patterns. These call for a thorough approach to care, and there are several established guidelines and systems for the assessment of facial injury, as well as treatment and rehabilitation procedures for achieving optimum outcomes. This helpful and practical guide will help clinicians deal with even the most complex injuries.
