“…The anatomical area with the highest rate of fracture was the nose (n=161, 39.75%); these findings are similar to the results of Arosarena et al [23] in Canada. In contrast, Motamedi [10] in Iran, Brasileiro & Passeri [1] in Brazil and Jin et al [2] in China observed a high prevalence of mandibular fractures.…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate epidemiological aspects of maxillofacial injuries in hospitalized patients. METHODS: The sample was composed of 405 patients treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Emergency Hospital of Aparecida de Goiânia, Brazil, between 2011 and 2013. The following informations were collected from the patients' medical records: gender, age, cause of injury, seasonal distribution and type of injury. The statistical treatment analyzed data from frequency distribution and chi-squared test. The level of significance was set at 5% for all analyses. RESULTS: A higher occurrence of maxillofacial injuries was observed in males (72.59%) and with 21-30 years old (26.17%). The main etiologic factors involved were vehicle traffic accidents (30.62%), falls (22.72%) and violence (21.48%). The seasonal distribution showed that most cases occurred in autumn (38.02%), followed by summer (34.07%). The most common injuries were facial fractures (80%), with the nasal bones being the most affected anatomical region (39.75%). Statistically significant associations between etiological factor, gender and age (p<0.005) were observed. CONCLUSION: There was a high number of maxillofacial injuries in males aged less than 30 years old due to vehicle traffic accidents.

“…Males are four times more prone to the fracture than females with peak age between 20 to 30 years. 3 It can present in the emergency room (ER) as an isolated injury in case of violence or fight or as a part of polytrauma in case of a severe RTA. 4 RTAs are the main cause of ZMC fractures in the developing countries.…”

Frequency of infra-orbital nerve injury after a Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture and its functional recovery after open reduction and internal fixation

2017

Background: Maxillofacial injuries are on the rise and the etiology of maxillofacial injuries varies from one country to another because of social, cultural and environmental factors. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are still the most common cause of maxillofacial injuries. Nerve injury following fracture may involve traction, pressure, ischemia, inflammation and physical damage; therefore fractures of Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) are characterized by sensory neuropathy in the area of innervation of infra-orbital nerve both as presenting symptom and as a postop complication. The objectives of the study were to investigate the frequency of infra-orbital nerve paresthesia following ZMC fractures and determine the frequency of functional nerve recovery in patients with paresthesia treated with open reduction and internal fixation.Methods: Patients (n = 75) qualifying our inclusion criteria were selected, examined, reduced by surgery and followed up.Results: A total of 75 patients were included in the study with male: female ratio of 5:3. Mean age was 37.43±3.78 years, with majority of patients (72 %) presenting with RTAs. Infra-orbital nerve paraesthesia was found to be positive in 70.67% (n = 53) patients with 62.26% (n = 33) patients with functional nerve recovery after 3 months.Conclusions: Prognosis of infra-orbital nerve recovery after a Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture can be enhanced by open reduction and internal fixation.

Maxillofacial Injuries and Violence Against Women

Abstract: These results in conjunction with other presenting circumstances, such as delay in presentation, can assist the surgeon treating patients with maxillofacial injury in recognizing interpersonal violence against women.
