“…The treatment uses considerable resources (Allareddy et al, 2011). Also the public health impact of these injuries needs to be highlighted (Czerwinski et al, 2008;Lee, 2009;Allareddy et al, 2011; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Leading causes of death, http://www.cdc.gov/ nchs/fastats/lcod.htm Accessed 20 October, 2011).

Article HistoryReceived 25 / 03 / 2013 Accepted 06 / 04 / 2013Maxillofacial fractures are resulted from various types of face trauma. These patients require multidisciplinary approach during diagnosis and management in emergency department. The aim of this study was to present a large series of various traumas to the face in an attempt to identify the relation between the injury pattern and fractures of face. Hospital records of 275 patients treated for maxillofacial trauma from January 2008 to august 2011 were reviewed retrospectively. There was no significant difference in age between male and female patients. Most common injuries were mandibular, zygomatic and midface fractures. Zygomatic arch fractures were significantly higher in automobile and interpersonal violence. Nasal fractures were significantly higher in interpersonal violence cases. Maxilla fractures were significantly higher in automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents. Mandible fractures were nearly equally distributed in various injury causes and no significant relation was found between any types of injury. Common causes of maxillofacial traumas are assaults, motor vehicle accidents and falls. Fractures of mandible are most common fracture of the face in this study. Midface fractures were related with high impact collisions.

“…Additionally, cleft lip and/or palate are congenital disorders with the highest prevalence of all 3 under investigation, which possibly contributed to the findings 20 22 . Similarly, of the high number of people (407,167) who suffered from facial fractures in the United States in 2007, the deaths of 3,057 of these individuals and the expenditure of $1 B USD in that period are factors that may help explain the interest in this topic 23 .…”

“…It is possible that, although the interest on the part of the Cochrane Collaboration regarding both topics seems similar, the worldwide scientific community does not follow suit. Another possibility is that studies on facial frac tures are more difficult to conduct due to the morphological variations associated with this disease 23 , which could lead both to a lower total number of available articles and to a higher number of low-quality studies that were filtered out by the Cochrane system.…”

REVIEW ARTICLE ABSTRACTThe term "evidence-based medicine," first used in the 1980s in Canada, is defined as "the conscious, explicit, and critical use of the best available evidence to make medical decisions regarding the care of individual patients." This study sought to estimate the viability of evi dence based medicine in modern craniofacial surgery practice 44 years after Paul Tessier first started it by showcasing his initial experience in that area. With the goal of identifying the best available evidence, the research focused on 5 central topics in this field: cleft lip and/or palate, orthognathic surgery, craniosynostoses, facial fractures, and hemifacial microsomia. This study used the Cochrane Library, the main database of evidence based medicine. No Cochrane reviews were found for orthognathic surgery, craniosynostoses, or hemifacial microsomia. Similarly, no narrative reviews were found during the searched. No non Cochrane reviews were found for facial fractures or craniosynostosis. The resul ting number of reviews for each topic was low. A higher number of studies with clinical scientific evidence were found regarding facial fractures and cleft lip and/or palate. It was difficult to find a substantial number of articles on most of these topics when the Cochrane Library was used. As such, less confidence must be placed on studies with low levels of evidence and greater efforts are needed to service the need for good studies, which may gui de clinical practice scientifically.Keywords: Evidence based medicine.

“…Maxillofacial fractures remain a major component of all traumas, representing a challenge for public health services worldwide due to the high incidence and significant financial cost [1][2][3][4] . Considering that these fractures may result in functional or cosmetic deformities, maxillofacial surgery aims at consistently restoring patients back to their pre-injury form and function [5][6][7] .…”

Aim: To determine factors that may affect the time of discharge from hospital in patients who underwent maxillofacial trauma. Methods: The sample included 115 patients seen at a public hospital in Brazil, to whom surgical maxillofacial treatment was delivered. Data were obtained from patients' medical records and then followed by a statistical analysis using a 5% significance level. Results: The location of fractures and other clinical features such as the presence of edema and ecchymosis were found to be significantly associated with increased time of discharge from hospital (P < 0.05). When data were modeled using a GML approach, male gender was associated with a lower likelihood of prolonged hospital discharge (OR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.72-0.98; P < 0.05), while the presence of edema was associated with greater time of hospital discharge (OR = 1.30; 95% CI: 1.14-1.49; P < 0.001). No significant association with age, etiology of trauma, and number of fractures was observed (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Female gender was associated with greater time of hospital discharge, and further concerns should be addressed to the management of lesions following maxillofacial trauma surgical interventions.
