- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary objective of assessing the facial nerve function will be done both clinically and using a standard procedure. T pre-framed scales like that of House- Brackmann. Procedural assessment is planned to be done by electrophysiological measures like Electromyography (EMGTimepoint: Data will be collected using EMG at week 1, week 4, week 12 if feasible
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method i.Extent of exposure will be reported based on the surgical exposure of the fractured site achieved and the anatomic landmarks of the extent of the exposure. Whether it was adequate or did the surgeon face any particular difficulty with the approach. Linear measurements of the extent of exposure shall be measured on the intraoperative photographs. <br/ ><br>ii.Operating time- a stopwatch will be used to measure the time from making an incision to full exposure of the fracture site. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: intra- operatively
