Types of mid-face fractures according to Le Fort classifications:
-Le Fort type 1
horizontal maxillary fracture, separating the teeth from the upper face
fracture line passes through the alveolar ridge, lateral nose and inferior wall of maxillary sinus
-Le Fort type 2
pyramidal fracture, with the teeth at the pyramid base, and nasofrontal suture at its apex
fracture arch passes through posterior alveolar ridge, lateral walls of maxillary sinuses, inferior orbital rim and nasal bones
-Le Fort type 3
craniofacial dysjunction
fracture line passes through nasofrontal suture, maxillo-frontal suture, orbital wall, and zygomatic arch / zygomaticofrontal suture
- A memory aid is:
-Le Fort 1 is a floating palate
-Le Fort 2 is a floating maxilla
-Le Fort 3 is a floating face
