The results of the endocrine and metabolic behaviour in 40 patient with fractures of the medial facial third: 10 nasal, 20 maxillomalar, 2 Lefort I, 4 Lefort II, and 4 Lefort III, are evaluated. 34 patients were males and 6 females. Chloride, sodium, potassium, urea, and creatinine were cuantified in urine (24-hour samples); chlorine, sodium, and potassium in blood ionogram; glucose, calcium, phosphorus, urea, creatinine, and differential blood count in blood chemistry. These samples were taken 72 hours and 24 hours after the immediate postoperative. All the patients studied mantained the endocrine and metabolic stability except those with Leford I, II and III, who in the last sample taken presented alterations of sodium and potassium in the urine and blood ionogram.
