Abstract
The middle third of the facial skeleton is a complex anatomical region that can be considered as being composed of several distinct areas. Injuries to each site will have their own structural, aesthetic, and functional characteristics. Although the term “middle third” is commonly used to denote LeFort fractures, injuries to this region are often much more widespread and complex.
For a more detailed review of this topic see Atlas of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery by M Perry and S Holmes.
