Abstract
Purpose
The present study aims to describe three cases of patients inflicted by rubber bullets with severe facial fractures.
Methods
In addition, a review of English-language literature involving facial fractures by rubber bullets from 1975 to 2016 was performed.
Results
This current study demonstrated that the use of the LLRBW is unsafety even when applied by police enforcements exclusively.
Conclusions
Management of facial fractures caused by LLRBW is done in a usual manner with closed or open reduction associated with bone mini-plates or reconstruction plates when indicated. Special initial wound care should be done to avoid secondary infection and additional procedures.
