abstract="PURPOSE: The present study aims to describe three cases of patients inflicted by rubber bullets with severe facial fractures. <br><br>METHODS: In addition, a review of English-language literature involving facial fractures by rubber bullets from 1975 to 2016 was performed. <br><br>RESULTS: This current study demonstrated that the use of the LLRBW is unsafety even when applied by police enforcements exclusively. <br><br>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.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
