“…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.…”

“…Studies show that traffic collisions are among the leading causes of maxillofacial trauma [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]17,18,20]. Notable subtypes of this type of trauma are incidents involving bicycles or motorcycles, which are represented at a significant percentage as etiological agents.…”

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.

“…A literature review reveals a significant body of information regarding the epidemiology of either specific fractures (craniofacial [21], maxillofacial [22], wrist/distal radius [23,24], hand [25,26], knee [27], tibial tuberosity [28] or metatarsal bones [29]) or certain activity-related injuries (motocross [30], all-terrain vehicles [31], bicycle [32], falling down the stairs [33] or holiday-related [34]). However, the objective of the study was to address the epidemiology of MSP in the ED and not the epidemiology of pediatric fractures or injuries.…”

Epidemiology of musculoskeletal pain in a pediatric emergency department

et al. 2015

The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the percentage of emergency department (ED) visits due to musculoskeletal pain (MSP) by children 3-14 years of age during a period of 1 year; (2) to determine the most frequent presenting complaints; and (3) to characterize their etiology. A cross-sectional study was performed on children aged 3-14(11/12) years attended at the ED of a tertiary hospital due to MSP. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were reviewed 5 days each month for 12 consecutive months. Study days were selected by computer-generated simple random sampling. Out of 4,531 visits to the ED, 826 were due to MSP (18.2 %; 95 % CI 17.1-19.4 %). When compared with children with no skeletal complaints, children with MSP had a similar sex distribution but were older (mean ± SD 7 ± 3.5 years vs 9.9 ± 3.1 years; p < 0.0001). The most common complaints were pain at the wrist (19 %), ankle (19 %) and finger (15 %). The most common etiology was trauma (88.4 %), including contusions (38 %), fractures (21 %) and sprains (18 %). Children with hip (6.7 ± 3 years; p < 0.0001) and elbow (7.8 ± 3.5 years; p < 0.0001) complaints were younger than children with pain in other locations, whereas children with wrist pain (10.5 ± 2.6 years; p < 0.002) and joint sprains (10.7 ± 2.7 years; p < 0.0001) were older. Fractures were more frequent in boys (64 vs 36 %, p = 0.008; OR 1.6; CI 1.1-2.2). Visits to the ED due to MSP increased with age. Pain at three locations represented 50 % of the presenting complaints. Trauma was the principal etiology, but fractures only represented one-fifth of the total.

“…About 14.8% of all facial fractures and 24-72% of all mandibular fractures are fractures of the mandibular condyle in children [1,2]. The dislocated fractures of condylar neck and base under 12 years of age were often treated conservatively in the past, such as a short course of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF), followed by physiotherapy [3,4]. MCFs are those most commonly missed by the parents and may not be treated promptly, so all kinds of complications have been associated with previous MCFs, such as pain, restricted mandibular movement, muscle spasm and deviation of the mandible, malocclusion, pathological changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), osteonecrosis, facial asymmetry, retrognathism and TMJ ankylosis [5,6].…”
