Sadly, many individuals
present each year with severe facial injuries to
Jefferson's Level One Regional trauma center.
Working in tandem with Dr. Robert Penne and Dr.
Jurij Bylik of Wills Eye Hospital, Dr. Pribitkin
has successfully repaired scores of severe
facial traumas ranging from nasal fractures to
extensive orbital and craniofacial injuries. The
trauma team at Jefferson uses a hidden incision
approach-rarely is it necessary to make a cut on
the face in order to repair a facial fracture.
Additionally, recent technological advances
enable Dr. Pribitkin to repair fractures with
1.3 and 1.0 mm titanium plates, which are not
felt by patients after their surgery.
