“…Zygomatic bone fractures were found in the highest proportion in the 20-29 age group, in accordance with the in vivo 34: 2049-2055 (2020) results from other studies (3,4,9,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). This is due to the fact that during this period of life, individuals are more socially, culturally, and physically active, making them more exposed to risks factors through their actions (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Another favoring factor, which cannot be neglected and is specific to this age group, is alcohol consumption (20).…”

“…In contrast, zygomatic bone fractures due to road traffic accidents are predominant in other regions: Saudi Arabia (11,12), Malaysia (23), South Korea (16), India (17), China (4), Iran (19), Nigeria (44), Uganda (45). Road traffic accidents are predominant in developing countries where there are no well-defined traffic rules, such as the obligation of wearing a seatbelt, special equipment for motorcycles or a helmet for bicycles (11,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(44)(45)(46)(47). However, road traffic accidents are also predominant in developed countries with a high population density and a great number of vehicles, leading to a statistically higher risk of road traffic accidents (4,16,17,44,45).…”

Background/Aim: Midface fractures represent a challenge for medical practitioners due to the severe esthetic and functional consequences. This study aimed to determine the causes and to provide a demographic analysis of zygomatic bone fractures in our geographical area, with a view to implementing the necessary prevention methods, training the medical staff for a certain type of patients and decreasing the required costs. Patients and Methods: A retrospective statistical epidemiological analysis of 242 patients with zygomatic bone fractures over a 10-year period was performed. Results: The most affected age group was 20-29 years (27.27%). The most affected were men (n=211, 87.19%) from urban areas (n=140, 57.85%), and without education (n=122, 50.41%). The most frequent cause was interpersonal violence (54.04%), followed by falls (17.36%) and road traffic accidents (16.53%). Conclusions: Interpersonal violence as a cause of zygomatic bone fractures is currently reaching epidemic proportions. Taking legal measures to prevent aggression is a public health emergency that would considerably decrease the incidence of these fractures in our population.

Introduction: Frontonasal fracture and concomitant craniofacial injuries carry the significant potential for mortality and morbidity mainly in young adults. This study analyses the characteristics of frontonasal injuries and associated facial injuries, the management option, and its outcome. Methods: This retrospective study was performed at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery and Neurosurgery, Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal. Patients who had undergone surgery for cranial and midline facial bone fracture between January 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. The variable examined were age, sex, alcohol consumption, any chronic diseases, time from accident to surgery, duration of hospitalization, and postoperative complication. Continuous variables were expressed as mean± standard deviation, and categorical variables were expressed as number or percentage. All analyses were performed using SPSS software 26.0. Results: The majority of patients were in the 3rd to 4th decade (67.1%). The most common cause was Road traffic accidents 45(59.2%). Twenty Five (32.9%) patients had consumed alcohol at the time of the accident. Among midline anterior fracture most common finding was nasal bone fracture 42(55.3%). Frontal bone fracture was seen in 9(11.8%) cases. Closed reduction of nasal bone was performed in 43(56.58%) cases. Craniotomy and elevation of depressed frontal bone was done in 10.53% of cases. Conclusion: Road traffic accidents were found to be the commonest mode of frontonasal trauma and males in young adult age group were the most common victim. The most common injuries were nasal bone fracture which was managed by closed reduction.

“…Their causes and frequency vary from region to region [1][2][3][4], and result from the socio-economic status of patients, their education, and cultural and environmental factors, as well as alcohol consumption [5][6][7]. According to the World Health Organization, maxillofacial injuries are most frequently caused by road collisions, violence, or sports injuries [2,4,7]. These may result in injuries to the soft tissues of the face and mouth, the teeth, and fractures of the craniofacial bones [1,3,4].…”

Maxillofacial fractures (MFF) belong to the major modern medicine and public health concerns. The recovery from MFF is associated with a number of social problems. The patient’s mood may be affected by the change in self-image and lack of satisfaction with life, in many cases leading to a deepening of mental health disorders, resulting in alcoholism, loss of job or conflicts in the area of family life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with MFF, with respect to demographic and medical variables. The mean age of the 227 patients was 36 years. The mandible was the most frequent MFF location (52.9%), followed by the zygomatic bone (30.8%) then the maxilla (16.3%). Bone fracture displacement occurred in 79.3% of patients. A comminuted fracture was found in 71% of patients. The quality of life of patients with MFF was significantly better in all analyzed domains 3 months after the end of hospitalization compared to the initial survey carried out shortly after implementation of the treatment. Among the demographic variables, older age had a statistically significant but weak positive association with the improvement of the quality of life of respondents in General health perception domain.
