“…In our study, ocular region injuries were more likely to occur in the EBA and AR groups, which may account for a correlation between ocular region injuries and zygomatic complex fractures, given that the orbital wall bone is very thin and easy to fracture 26 . Cerebral injuries were more likely to occur in the AMA and MCA groups, which is consistent with the results of other studies 14,18,27 .…”

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics and correlation of maxillofacial fractures and concurrent injuries with different injury causes. Methods: In this retrospective study, data were collected from patients treated for maxillofacial fractures in 3 oral and maxillofacial surgery departments in Southeast China, from January 2010 to December 2019. The information was obtained from clinical notes and surgical records using a standardized data collection form, and some causes of injuries were confirmed by telephone follow-ups and police records. These patients were divided into 7 groups according to the etiology: bicycle accident, electric bicycle accident, motorcycle accident, automobile accident, fall at ground level, fall from a height, and assaultrelated accident. Statistical tests were performed using R software (version 3.1.1), and all P-values were computed based on Chi-square tests and set at 0.05. Results: During this 10-year retrospective study, a total of 1772 patients with definite causes were analyzed. The average age was approximately 35.04 years (9 months-94 years). All patients were treated with open reduction and rigidly internal fixation, and the average duration was approximately 6.51 days (range 0 day-50 days), that from the time of the injury to the time of treatment. Traffic accidents were identified as the main cause of maxillofacial fracture (57.62%; n ¼ 1021 of 1772 cases). In different etiology groups, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of age, sex, maxillofacial fracture type, and concurrent injuries (all P < 0.001). However, the main cause of maxillofacial injuries was falls (fall at ground level and fall from a height) in children, and the highest incidence of the cause of maxillofacial injuries was bicycle accident in adolescents. Compared with the other groups, zygomatic complex fracture was more common in the electric bicycle accident group, panfacial fracture was more common in the automobile accident group, and mandible fracture was more common in the other groups. Conclusion:The results of this study suggest that patients with maxillofacial fractures caused by different injuries had their own unique characteristics. These findings may assist us in avoiding misdiagnosis and treatment delays, and may make treatment plans faster.

“…Facial trauma has been found to account for approximately 45% of all trauma [ 2 ] and road accidents are one of the major causes for these injuries [ 3 , 4 ]. The predominant fracture sites are mandible, nasal bone, alveolar processes and zygomatic bones [ 4 , 5 ]. The treatment of maxillofacial injuries remains one of the important health problems in many countries [ 1 , 2 , [4] , [5] , [6] ].…”

The treatment of maxillofacial injuries remains one of the important health problems in many countries [ 1 , 2 , [4] , [5] , [6] ]. Titanium alloys (Ti) are the most widely used implants to treat maxillofacial and cranial fractures (miniplates and mesh) [ [7] , [8] , [9] ], and have many clinical level applications as these alloys are bio-inert and have excellent mechanical strength, osseointegration [ 10 ] and bioactivity [ 8 , 11 ].…”

A magnesium alloy containing essential, non-toxic, biodegradable elements such as Ca and Zn has been fabricated using a novel twin-roll casting process (TRC). Microstructure, mechanical properties, in vivo corrosion and biocompatibility have been assessed and compared to the properties of the rare earth (RE) element containing WE43 alloy. TRC Mg-0.5 wt% Zn- 0.5 wt% Ca exhibited fine grains with an average grain size ranging from 70 to 150 μm. Mechanical properties of a TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy showed an ultimate tensile strength of 220 MPa and ductility of 9.3%. The TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy showed a degradation rate of 0.51 ± 0.07 mm/y similar to that of the WE43 alloy (0.47 ± 0.09 mm/y) in the rat model after 1 week of implantation. By week 4 the biodegradation rates of both alloys studied were lowered and stabilized with fewer gas pockets around the implant. The histological analysis shows that both WE43 and TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloy triggered comparable tissue healing responses at respective times of implantation. The presence of more organized scarring tissue around the TRC Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Ca alloys suggests that the biodegradation of the RE-free alloy may be more conducive to the tissue proliferation and remodelling process.
