Maxillary fractures represent a significant category of maxillofacial injuries due to their complex anatomical structure and close association with vital functional systems. Among these injuries, Le Fort I and Le Fort II fractures are the most frequently encountered patterns affecting the midface region. This article analyzes the clinical course and diagnostic criteria of Le Fort I and Le Fort II maxillary fractures, with particular emphasis on their pathological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic challenges. Special attention is given to the role of clinical examination, radiological assessment, and differential diagnosis in establishing an accurate and timely diagnosis. Understanding the distinctive features of these fracture types is essential for selecting appropriate treatment strategies, preventing complications, and improving functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients with midfacial trauma.
