AB Because  the  radiographic  anatomy  of  the  facial  skeleton  is  complex,  attempting  to  identify  a  fracture  simply  by  looking  for  discontinuity  or  deformity  of  the  facial  bones  is  inefficient  and  may  fail  to  identify  the  pertinent  findings.  Facial  fractures  are  best  detected  by  looking  for  specific  injury  patterns  (tripod  fracture,  blow-out  fracture,  isolated  zygomatic  arch  fracture,  or  LeFort  fracture).
