“…Therefore, it is not surprising that the most common fracture in the present study is the ZMC fracture. The finding reported here is in contrast with that reported by Manodh et al [11] who found that the most common maxillofacial fracture is mandibular fracture (59.2%). They implied that the patients usually, as a reflex, turn to their side when there is a sudden impact directed to the face.…”

“…Manodh et al [11] and Al-Qamachi et al [12] reported that 66.6% and 83% of maxillofacial trauma in elderly people, respectively, is a consequence of falls. The incidence of falling increases by age and mostly occurs at home because of senility, osteoporosis, and systemic complications such as diabetes.…”

Background: Maxillofacial injury is a common injury in trauma patients. The incidence, associated injuries and causes have been never reported for King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH). Objectives: To report the incidence, associated injuries, age groups, treatments, and behavioral risks in maxillofacial patients who were admitted to KCMH in the past decade. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of patients from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2015, to evaluate the age groups, causes, sites of facial bone fracture, associated injuries, treatments, and behavioral risks. Results: There were 1,275 patients (79% male and 21% female). The most common age group was 21-30 years (30.6%), followed by 11-20 years (19.5%) and 31-40 years (18.8%). The most common cause of injury was motorcycle accident (39.7%), and the most common associated injury was head injury (58%). The total number of fractures were 1,526, with the most common fracture site being the zygomaticomaxillary complex (38.6%), followed by mandible (21.8%) and nasal bone (17.8%). Most fractures were treated using open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws. Conclusions:The main cause of maxillofacial injury is motorcycle accident even though the government launched a policy named "Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020" to reduce road traffic deaths. Thailand continues to need stronger law enforcement to reduce risky motorcycle driving behavior.

“…Recent studies have demonstrated that road traffic accidents are the most prevalent etiology for facial trauma . Some authors attribute the highest prevalence in this kind of accident to the changing social habits and dynamics that necessitate the use of motor vehicles . In countries like Brazil, traffic accidents are an important public health problem as a result of inadequate road safety awareness, unsuitable road conditions without expansion of the motorway network, old vehicles without safety features, failure to wear seat belts or helmets, use of alcohol or other intoxicating agents, behavioral disorders, and socio‐economical insufficiencies of some drivers…”

“…Facial trauma is one of the most prevalent injuries in urban trauma centers, with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality rates and a substantial economic burden on society, including increasing healthcare spending . Facial bone fractures result in physical, esthetic, functional, and mental sequelae for the injured patient . Within this context, studies investigating the types of materials that can be used for the treatment of facial fractures are needed, as well as an analysis of the economic impact of these high‐cost materials.…”

Background/Aims Facial trauma arising from traffic accidents is one of the most prevalent injuries in urban trauma centers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency, types, and costs associated with osteosynthesis material used in facial fractures of traffic accident victims seen at the Hospital da Restauração, Recife/PE, Brazil, from January to December 2014. Materials and methods Data were collected from the medical records of hospitalized patients submitted to surgery under general anesthesia for the treatment of facial fractures during the period. The data were analyzed descriptively by calculating absolute frequencies, percentages, and means. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v.21.0. Results Among the patients, 73.1% were victims of motorcycle accidents that led to higher costs as they were the most prevalent injuries. Mandibular fractures were the most prevalent injury (53.5%). A total of 477 osteosynthesis materials were used, of which 76.51% were a 2.0‐mm plate system, 15.51% were a 1.5‐mm plate system, 3.14% were a 2.4‐mm plate system, 3.77% titanium meshes, 0.83% lag screws, and 0.2% steel wires. The use of these materials for the treatment of facial fractures resulted in a cost of US $51.285,00 for the Brazilian public health system. Conclusion The increase in the number of traffic accidents implies significant numbers of victims with facial fractures, as well as considerable costs associated with the use of osteosynthesis materials for public health services.

Incidence and patterns of maxillofacial trauma—a retrospective analysis of 3611 patients—an update

Abstract: Our study provides insights into the epidemiology of facial injuries and associated factors and can be useful not only in developing prevention strategies but also for grading the existing legal regulations and also for framing a more effective treatment protocol.
