Facial fractures occur less commonly in children than adults but may result in significant morbidity and lifelong consequences. Children’s unique anatomical and developmental characteristics necessitate nuanced evaluation and management approaches. As facial fractures often accompany broader trauma, a comprehensive understanding of associated injuries is crucial, with particular attention to potential airway compromise, head trauma, and concomitant injuries. Pediatric facial trauma’s diverse etiologies make interprofessional collaboration between facial surgery, neurosurgery, and pediatric specialists essential for optimal care. Adherence to the Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines ensures systematic evaluation and timely intervention, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and treatment of life-threatening conditions.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ proficiency in evaluating and managing pediatric facial fractures. Participants gain deeper insights into the pediatric facial skeleton’s unique anatomical features and growth patterns compared to adults, strengthening their skills in creating individualized diagnostic and treatment approaches for affected patients. After participation, learners become prepared to collaborate effectively within an interprofessional team to improve outcomes for young patients with facial fractures.
