Operating classification of traumatic lesions of the hump of upper jaw

Abstract

The aim of the research was to develop an operating classifcation of lesions of the hump of the upper jaw, which will increase the effectiveness of the surgical treatment of injured patients by assessing the nature and extent of lesions. Some clinical cases of traumatic lesions of the posterior-lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, which is represented by the hump of the upper jaw, are described. Classifcation of fractures of the hump of the upper jaw presented herein allows to fully assess the nature and extent of the existing lesions, to predict and anticipate the course of the wound process and to plan the most appropriate stages of the method of surgical treatment of the victims.
