“…Compared to facial bone fractures related to the study of Kim et al 9 , underwent the same period, in the sex distribution of oral and maxillofacial laceration, the male to female ratio was 2.50:1, with 1,244 male subjects and 498 female subjects. Over three years, the male-to-female ratio decreased, due to the increase in the number of female patients.…”

ObjectivesThis study investigated patients with oral and maxillofacial lacerations who visited the emergency room over a three-year period in an effort to determine the optimal treatment for these injuries.Materials and MethodsThis study examined 1,742 patients with oral and maxillofacial lacerations with 2,014 different laceration locations who visited the emergency room of Pusan National University Hospital (Busan, Korea) over three years, from January 2011 to December 2013. Patients were classified by sex, age, visit day, cause of injury, injury site, and the presence or absence of soft tissue and tooth injuries.ResultsThe male to female ratio was 2.50:1. Patients under 10 years old were seen most frequently. Most emergency room visits were on weekends. Among intra-oral lacerations, the lip area was the most vulnerable site; among extra-oral lacerations, the chin area was most frequently injured. The most frequent etiology was a slip down. Most lacerations occurred without bone fracture or tooth damage.ConclusionLaceration may differ in large part as compared with the fracture. Therefore, it is necessary to continue collecting data on oral and maxillofacial lacerations to establish optimal emergency room diagnosis and treatment strategies.

“…Individuals in their 20s showed the highest incidence (25.5%) of fractures, and most patients were concentrated in the 10s to 40s (76.5%) age group. Likewise, Lee et al 12 and Kim et al 2 reported the highest occurrence in patients in their 20s. High physical and social activity in this age group may increase their chances of being exposed to trauma with a resultant high fracture incidence.…”

ObjectivesThe facial bones are the most noticeable area in the human body, and facial injuries can cause significant functional, aesthetic, and psychological complications. Continuous study of the patterns of facial bone fractures and changes in trends is helpful in the prevention and treatment of maxillofacial fractures. The purpose of the current clinico-statistical study is to investigate the pattern of facial fractures over a 4-year period.Materials and MethodsA retrospective analysis of 1,824 fracture sites was carried out in 1,284 patients admitted to SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center for facial bone fracture from January 2010 to December 2013. We evaluated the distributions of age/gender/season, fracture site, cause of injury, duration from injury to treatment, hospitalization period, and postoperative complications.ResultsThe ratio of men to women was 3.2:1. Most fractures occurred in individuals aged between teens to 40s and were most prevalent at the middle and end of the month. Fractures occurred in the nasal bone (65.0%), orbital wall (29.2%), maxillary wall (15.3%), zygomatic arch (13.2%), zygomaticomaxillary complex (9.8%), mandibular symphysis (6.5%), mandibular angle (5.9%), mandibular condyle (4.9%), and mandibular body (1.9%). The most common etiologies were fall (32.5%) and assault (26.0%). The average duration of injury to treatment was 6 days, and the average hospitalization period was 5 days. Eighteen postoperative complications were observed in 17 patients, mainly infection and malocclusion in the mandible.ConclusionThis study reflects the tendency for trauma in the Seoul metropolitan region because it analyzes all facial fracture patients who visited our hospital regardless of the specific department. Distinctively, in this study, midfacial fractures had a much higher incidence than mandible fractures.

“…Therefore, there have been multiple studies on this issue. 9 With this background the present study was conducted in our centre which is closely located near national highway road where many RTA cases are treated. This study evaluated the pattern, aetiology, management of maxillofacial injuries, association of alcohol abuse and assessed the various factors like restraint/protective devices influencing their distribution.…”

BACKGROUND Trauma is the most common cause of maxillofacial injury. Maxillofacial injuries can cause long-term functional, aesthetic, and psychological complication. Road traffic accidents (RTA) are the major causes in developing countries like India. Restraint devices significantly reduce the risk and severity of injury, and the number of deaths resulting from crashes. RTA is often related to the use of alcohol and has a strong association with facial injuries. The present study evaluated the demographic pattern, aetiology, management of maxillofacial injuries, its association of alcohol abuse and the effect of restraint/protective devices influencing their distribution. METHODS A four-year retrospective study was done between January 2014 to December 2017 on patients with maxillofacial injuries attending dental OPD and emergency department. A total of 225 patients with maxillofacial injury/trauma were analysed. Age ranged between 5-75 years. Patient with head injury, polytrauma and pregnant females were excluded from the study. Patients were evaluated by age, gender, mode of injury, aetiology, history of alcohol intake, maxillofacial injury sites, use of protective device at the time of injury and treatment rendered. Data was expressed in percentages. RESULTS A total of 225 patients accounting for 288 maxillofacial fractures were included and analysed. The male:female ratio was 3:1. Commonly affected age group was 21-30 year (49.3%). Road traffic accidents accounted for 49.01 %. Two wheelers were the most commonly involved vehicle. Mandible was the most commonly fractured site. Patients under the influence of alcohol contributed to more number of maxillofacial injuries. Also, non-use of restraining device increased the incidence of facial injury. CONCLUSIONS RTA with two wheelers is the most common aetiology of maxillofacial injuries, involving young adult (21-40 years) male patients. Mandible is most commonly fractured. Not using safety measures (helmets and seat belts) and also influence of alcohol are the major factors responsible for the injuries.
