“…The male:female ratio (3.16:1) in our sample was lower than what has been reported by Cavalcanti et al [8], Cheema and Amin [9] and Ugboko et al [23] and this finding is in accordance with previous studies from India [13,22] as well as from other parts of the world [7,14]. This may be due to the active participation of females in society and consequently they are more susceptible to road traffic accidents and assault.…”

“…This study revealed that the peak incidence of maxillofacial fractures occurred in the 21-30 year age group, with mean age of 29.6 years. Many surveys of maxillofacial fractures reported the same results concerning age [2,5,7,8,20]. The possible explanation for this was that younger persons involved in intense social interaction and higher rate of mobility, drive motor vehicles carelessly making them more susceptible to road transport accident and interpersonal assault.…”

“…Maxillofacial fractures are often associated with severe morbidity, functional deficit, disfigurement, and significant financial cost [15,17]. The incidence, patterns and etiology of maxillofacial fractures are influenced by geographic location, socio economic status of the cohort, and the period of investigation [8,11,14,22].…”

“…In developing nations, road traffic accidents [8,9,22,23] are the most frequent etiology and in developed countries assaults [10,11,15] are the most frequent etiology. Injuries to the middle third of the face are frequently complicated by injury to the eye, so, early diagnosis and management of ocular injuries is important for prevention of ocular dysfunction.…”

A prospective study on mid-face fractures was carried out in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at College of Dentistry, Indore, from August 2007 to September 2009 to analyze etiology, incidence and patterns of midface fractures and associated ocular injuries. Two hundred patients were included in this study, amongst those who reported to the Department of OMFS, College of Dentistry, Indore. After confirmed diagnosis of mid face fracture all the patients were stratified according to age, sex, cause of the accident, influence of alcohol, location, type of fractures and associated ocular injuries. The study included 200 patients with a mean age of 29.6 years. The most frequently injured patients belonged to the 21-30 year-old age group. The male predilection was 76 %. Road traffic accident was the most common causative factor (64 %), followed by assault (21 %), cases of fall (9.5 %) and other causes (5.5 %). The most common fracture in this study was found to be zygomatic complex fractures (62.5 %) (more in the age group of 21-30 years). This was followed by Lefort II fractures (23 %), multiple fractures (10 %) and Lefort I fractures (6 %), Lefort III fractures (4.5 %) and Naso-ethmoidal fractures (4 %) in descending order. 84.5 % subjects were having ocular involvement. Subconjunctival hemorrhage was present mostly in 83.5 % followed by remaining as corneal injury 15 %, reduced acuity 11.5 %, diplopia 10.5 %, enophthalmos 8.5 %, telecanthus 5 %, hyphema 3.5 %, blindness 3 % and proptosis 0.5 %. Zygomatic complex fractures were the most frequent type of injury that was complicated by blindness or a serious eye injury (61 %). Collection of data regarding the epidemiology of maxillofacial fractures is important because it may assist healthcare providers to provide necessary information for the development and evaluation of preventive measures. Ocular injuries should have an early ophthalmological examination at the time of trauma to detect any kind of ocular dysfunction.

Purpose: This study aimed to provide a nationwide survey of maxillofacial injuries pattern, distribution, etiology, and treatment based on Nigeria's geopolitical zones.Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis included all cross-sectional, cohort, case-control and randomized controlled studies published between 2004 and 2019 (16 years). Comparisons were made between different age groups, gender, site of maxillofacial injury, associated injuries, and treatment across geopolitical zones in Nigeria: southwest(SW), southsouth(SS), southeast(SE), northwest(NW), north central(NC) and northeast(NE). Proportion meta-analysis using the generic inverse variance method, risk ratio effect measure, and random effects model was conducted.Results: A total of 35 studies including 4,472 patients from four geopolitical zones across Nigeria (SW, SS, SE and NW) were included in this review. Age range was 0.3 to 90 years. Highest male to female ratio reported was 30:1. Road tra c crash (RTC) was the major risk factor for maxillofacial injuries (3.10, 95% CI, 2.34 -4.10), and motorcycle crash was second (0.44; 95% CI, 0.29 -0.66). Other aetiologic factors were assault (0.28; 95% CI, 0.19 -0.40), fall (0.06; 95% CI, 0.03 -0.11), sports injuries (0.03; 95% CI, 0.02 -0.05) and others (0.04; 95% CI, 0.02 -0.09).Conclusions and relevance: RTC, motorcycle crash and assault constituted the most important factors for maxillofacial injuries in Nigeria. The result of this study highlights the importance of improved road safety measures and maintenance of law and order.
