“…Notable subtypes of this type of trauma are incidents involving bicycles or motorcycles, which are represented at a significant percentage as etiological agents. In our sample, these specific agents accounted for over 20% of reported causes of facial trauma, corroborating the findings of other studies [13,[17][18][19]21,22].…”

“…Once again in agreement with other studies [5,7,9,13,14,[17][18][19], the mandible was the most common site of isolated facial fractures in this sample, accounting for 42.4% of all fractures observed, followed by the OZC with 35.6% [13]. It bears stressing that, at the study hospital, treatment of nasal fractures falls under the purview of the Plastic Surgery Department.…”

“…A study [22] of the epidemiology of bicycle crash in the United States between 2001 and 2008 found that 73% of cases involved men. Conversely, another study [19] showed that Dutch women accounted for nearly half of all cases of facial fractures secondary to bicycle accidents; in Italy, 26 of 105 victims were women.…”

Purpose: Epidemiological studies exhibit regional variation patterns as the result of local demographic and socioeconomic factors. This study assessed the epidemiology of maxillofacial fractures treated at a trauma center in Southern Brazil to identify the importance of motorcycle and bicycle crashes. Methods: The records of 2261 patients admitted between April 2003 and March 2013 were reviewed. Results: The male-to-female ratio was 5.6:1. The peak incidence occurred in the third decade of life. Bicycle and motorcycle crashes accounted for 20% of all reported etiologies. Mandibular and orbitozygomatic complex fractures were most prevalent. The most common treatments were open reduction with rigid internal fixation and conservative therapy. Overall, 1248 patients (55.9% of recorded admissions) had a length of stay of 7 days or less. Conclusion: Countrywide prevention projects and the use of alternative transportation should be encouraged.Key words: Epidemiology; Face; Wounds and injuries Importância epidemiológica de acidentes com motocicletas e bicicletas no contexto atual do trauma bucomaxilofacial no sul do Brasil Resumo Objetivo: Pesquisas epidemiológicas têm padrões de variações como resultado de fatores demográficos e socioeconômicos locais. Para identificar a importância dos acidentes de motocicletas e bicicletas, foram avaliadas as características epidemiológicas de fraturas maxilofaciais em um hospital público referência de trauma no sul do Brasil. Metodologia: A avaliação foi realizada através da análise de 2261 prontuários de pacientes internados entre abril de 2003 e março de 2013. Resultados: A razão entre homens e mulheres foi de 5,6:1. O pico de incidência foi observado na terceira década de vida e os acidentes de bicicleta e motocicleta atingiram 20% dentre os agentes etiológicos informados. As fraturas de mandíbula e do complexo zigomático-orbitário foram as mais prevalentes. Os tratamentos mais realizados foram: a redução cruenta com fixação interna rígida e o método conservador, sendo que 1248 pacientes (55,9% dos períodos de internação registrados) passaram até sete dias no hospital. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que projetos de prevenção contra acidentes e uso de transportes alternativos em todo país são necessários.

“…The epidemiology of these fractures varies depending on the geographic area, socioeconomic status, and the period of investigation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In many countries, traffic accidents are the most common cause of maxillofacial fractures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Therefore, hospital data are more relevant to use to analyze bicycle crashes 5,8 . Boffano et al 14 have done an ambitious study on maxillofacial injuries related to bicycles comparing epidemiological data in two European centers from 2001 to 2010. Their findings have similar percentages of accidents and on the damage level as in our series.…”

Abstract:Objective: This study was conducted to find the epidemiological characteristics of bicycling-related maxillofacial fractures in a defined population, and identify factors contributing to injury. Methodology: A prospective study was carried out involving patients presenting with maxillofacial fractures sustained in bicycling-related accidents. Results: Between 908 of all cycling accidents attending for medical treatment, 122 patients (13% of all cycling accidents) were admitted with facial fractures between 2007 and 2014. Male and female ratio was 2.6:1, and the mean age was 29.4 years (standard deviation: 12.8, range: 12-79 years). Causes of injury included collisions (63%) and accidental falls (37%). The fracture patterns seen were mandibular (49%), zygomatic (32%), orbital (13%), nasal (7%), maxillary (2%), and frontal (2%). Condylar fractures were the most common of the mandibular fractures (63%). The most frequently observed concomitant lesions were orthopedic injuries. Conclusions: Bicycling-related maxillofacial injuries are common and therefore important to identify in order to design a sustainable transport system and for units that provide assistance to traffic accident victims. Missed diagnosis or delayed treatment can lead to facial deformities and functional problems. Wearing protective helmets and the improvement of the helmets design is one aspect that would be of interest for the prevention of injuries.
