Case Presentation: A 47-year-old man had a motorcycle accident and presented to the emergency department with bleeding and trauma to the face. Physical examination: Upon physical examination, a fracture of the mandible was observed. After all assessments, initial trauma management was carried out. As a part of the next management strategy, the mandibular body fracture was repaired via a transfacial approach.
During the transfacial approach, detecting and protecting the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve was performed using a portable nerve stimulator. *This case challenge is from the editorial team of Docplexus and is meant for educative purposes only. Source: NCBI bookshelf
