“…A total of 58 fracture lines were reported in 36 patients with fractured maxilla, and the most commonly reported site was Le Fort1 (the palate is separated from the maxilla) with 29% prevalence followed by Le Fort2 (the maxilla separates from the face ) and Le Fort 3(craniofacial dysjunction is present (24.4% and 24%, respectively) ( 21 ) (Fig. 1 ).…”

BackgroundThe epidemiology of facial injuries varies in different countries and geographic zones. Population concentration, lifestyle, cultural background, and socioeconomic status can affect the prevalence of maxillofacial injuries. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the maxillofacial fractures epidemiology and treatment plans in hospitalized patients (2012-2014) which would be useful for better policy making strategies.Material and MethodsIn this retrospective study, the medical records of 386 hospitalized patients were evaluated from the department of maxillofacial surgery at Bahonar Hospital of Kerman, Iran. The type and cause of fractures and treatment plans were recorded in a checklist. For data analysis, ANOVA, t-test, Chi-square, and Fisher’s exact test were performed, using SPSS version 21.ResultsThe majority of patients were male (76.5%). Most subjects were within the age range of 20-30 years. Fractures were mostly caused by accidents, particularly motorcycle accidents (MCAs), and the most common site of involvement was the mandible (parasymphysis). There was a significant association between the type of treatment and age. In fact, the age group of 16-59 years under went open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) more than other age groups (P=0.02). Also, a significant association was observed between gender and the occurrence of fractures (P=0.01).ConclusionsConsidering the geographic and cultural indices of the evaluated population, it can be concluded that patients age and gender and trauma causes significantly affect the prevalence of maxillofacial traumas and fracture kinds and treatment plans. Key words:Epidemiology, treatment, facial injuries, face fractures, maxillofacial trauma, trauma.

“…Mandibular fractures were subdivided into angle, condyle, body, symphysis, parasymphisis, subcondyle, and ramus. Maxillary fractures were determined according to the Le-Fort classification (6). Zygomatic fractures were classified into zygomatic arch, infraorbital rim, blow-out (Figure 1 a, b), and tripod fractures.…”

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical and surgical data of patients with maxillofacial fracture (MFF) who were surgically treated at the Department of ENT and Head Neck Surgery in the Kayseri Training and Research Hospital and to compare and discuss the results with relevant literature, including that from Turkey. Results: A total of 35 patients were surgically treated because of MFF between January 2013 and March 2015. Of the 35 patients, 28 (80%) were male, whereas seven (20%) were female. Traffic accidents (40%) were the most frequent cause of MFFs. Mandibular fractures (49.1%) were the most common fractures, followed by zygomatic fractures (31.6%). Surgical management of MFFs was performed via closed reduction (17.5%) and/ or open reduction with internal fixation by miniplates (82.5%). A total of five complications were observed in the present study: malunion (n=2), removal of fixation plate because of infection (n=2), and permanent infraorbital nerve injury (n=1). Methods Conclusion:Based on the experience from the close proximity of the area, we think that surgeries for MFFs should be in the surgical repertoire of ENT surgeons.

“…The description of the horizontal osteotomy of the maxilla at the level of the fracture line described in 1901 by René Le Fort as ‘position fracture in Le Fort I’, was made by von Langenbeck in 1859. The operation was called at that time as osteoplastic resection of the maxilla.…”
