AbstractThis article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of facial soft tissue injuries in athletics. General diagnostic algorithms are presented, including initial assessment aligned with Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines. Specific injury types are discussed along with possible collateral damage and adverse sequelae to limit morbidity. Treatment modalities are described using generally accepted principles refined to fit athlete patients. Return-to-play issues are outlined relative to level of participation, with the emphasis on safe return. Goals of treatment are defined, including prompt, accurate diagnosis; efficient, effective treatment; safe return; and optimum functional and esthetic outcome.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
