“…15 The trend is similar in the studies done by the following authors: bruises (59%), abrasions or lacerations (49%). 16 • Butchart and colleagues reported the same findings, 9 as did Sumner and colleagues, who reported that contusions were the injuries suffered most by the victims of assault. 5 • Hocking, on the contrary, found that lacerations came first, followed by contusions and abrasions.…”

“…7 Studies of assault-related injuries have clearly established a relationship between unemployment, alcohol, young age, male sex and illiteracy. 1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] This study has established almost the same pattern. The researcher believes that, to be successful, prevention programmes have to include these factors in education protocols, given the prevalence of assault.…”

BackgroundViolence has been with us since time immemorial. In South Africa, violence plays a detrimental role in our daily lives, affecting almost everybody, directly or indirectly. The country experiences high levels of violence, with incidents of violence being reported in the newspapers and on radio and television on a daily basis. In the author's personal experience as a casualty officer at Witbank General Hospital, a considerable number of patients with assault-related injuries were seen every day. The objectives of this study were to assess the demographic and social factors associated with assault incidents, as well as to establish the type of injuries suffered by the victims of assault. MethodsThe method used was a descriptive, cross-sectional survey, undertaken at the casualty department of the Witbank General Hospital in Mpumalanga Province from 29 October 1999 to 1 May 2000. All patients who attended for injuries due to alleged assault (interpersonal violence) and met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. A total of 547 patients were selected as subjects of the study. ResultsThe majority of the victims were male (71.8%; N = 389), 69% (N = 377) were single and 91% (N = 498) were of African descent. The age group of the majority (86.9%; N = 475) ranged between 17 and 45 years. All the respondents had injuries to more than one part of the body. Among the assaulted patients, 86.6% (N = 474) had more than one type of injury. The majority of the victims of assault (81.4%; N = 445) were not admitted for in-hospital treatment. ConclusionsThe study revealed that a typical victim of assault treated at Witbank Hospital was an African male between the ages of 17 and 45 years. He had been attacked during the night or over the weekend. He had also probably been drinking. He would have suffered minor injuries, mainly to the head and neck.

“…In 1998, The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons organized an educational forum called "Save your Face". Such educational program involved twohundred surgeons from the British Oral and Maxillofacial Hospital who visited young 13 and 14 year-old students at their schools in order to educate them on the harmful effects of a high ingestion of alcoholic beverages and its association with facial injuries 46 . Alcohol ingestion prevention programs and educational policies should not be limited to the young only, but rather involve all stages of growth, from childhood to old age, considering their importance and order to reduce, in all age ranges, the incidence of alcohol-induced facial trauma.…”

Faci al traumas are frequent in emergencies, and they require the diagnosis of fractures and associated lesions. Aim:To analyze epidemiological data concerning facial trauma care. Materials and Methods:Three hundred and fifty-five charts from patients with facial trauma treated by the Service of Otorhinolaryngology, from January 2002 to December 2008, were revised. The following data was collected: age, gender, etiology, anatomical localization of the fracture, associated injuries, alcohol consumption, treatment, and hospitalization.Study Design: A retrospective historical longitudinal study. Results:Most of the patients are young adult men (p<0.05) with a male:female ratio of 4:1(p<0.05). Interpersonal violence is the most prevalent cause of facial trauma (27.9%), followed by motor vehicle accidents (16.6%) (p<0.05). The mandible is the most prevalent facial bone fractured (44.2%), followed by nasal fracture (18.9%) (p<0.05). 41.1% of the patients consumed alcohol with a male:female ratio of 11.2:1 (p<0.05). Seventy-seven percent of the patients required surgical intervention (p<0.05) and 84.5% were hospitalized (p<0.05). Conclusion:Young male adults are the most prevalent victims of facial trauma, and interpersonal violence is responsible for the majority of the facial injuries. Most of the cases of facial trauma are associated with the consumption of alcohol. Further studies will be necessary to provide a clear understanding of the trends in the etiology of facial trauma.

“…Overall, 22% of all facial trauma was related to alcohol consumption. 25 A positive association has also been found between high alcohol consumption and the lifetime risk of dental trauma. 26 Additionally, the prevalence of dental trauma is significantly higher in those that binge drink.…”
