What's Are LaForte I, II, III Fractures?

I sustained LaForte I, II, II Fractures when I was ejected from the passenger seat in a highspeed-rollover on the freeway in Palm Springs, CA.

A LaForte fracture is a fracture of all facial bones.

My doctor told me my skin was the only thing holding my face together.

LaForte I.
Upper face fracture where the bones such as the forehead are disconnected.
LaForte II.
Upper face and middle face (nose area) fractures where they are completely disconnected
LaForte III.
Lower 2/3 of the face, such as the jaw are completely snapped off.

The only thing holding this injury in is your skin. it is very severe.
