Road traffic accidents are the eighth leading cause of death worldwide, with a significant impact on individuals aged 5 to 29 years as per WHO. Traumatic maxillofacial injuries, often resulting from road traffic accidents, account for a substantial proportion of these injuries. Facial reconstructions following such injuries demand top priority. In this study, we present the management of a 25-year-old male patient with multiple complex maxillofacial fractures and soft tissue defects, emphasizing the crucial role of skilled and multispecialty management in such cases. The following article elucidates the importance of skilled and multispecialty management in a complex maxillofacial injury case.
