Abstract: PURPOSE: To observe the effect of multidisciplinary approach on oral and maxillofacial fracture with multiple traumas. METHODS: Forty-seven patients with oral and maxillofacial fracture and multiple traumas were treated between January 2008 and December 2012. The airway was kept open, the vital signs remained stable, and multiple related injuries were treated via multidisciplinary approach. After open reduction, the fracture was fixed with miniature titanium plate. The patients were instructed to perform postoperative physical exercises. RESULTS: All patients survived after treatment. The curative rate of 47 patients was 95.74%. CONCLUSIONS: Oral and maxillofacial fracture with multiple traumas should be treated multidisciplinary according to the severity of injury. Suitable miniature titanium should be chosen to fix the fracture rigidly based on the type of fracture.
