NCT ID NCT07749729
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two approaches to surgery for facial fractures: operating within 72 hours of injury versus waiting longer. It will track how well patients heal, including bone healing, function, and appearance. The goal is to see if earlier surgery leads to better outcomes for people with these injuries.
