“…The basis for mandible fracture to be most frequent is because of its position; prominence & mobility. Similar findings were found in the present study with mandible being involved in 60.5% of the patients, and these results similar with the studies done by Khan M et al, Ahmed S et al, Premchand P et al, and Ahmed S et al 15,19,24,25 27 and Khan M et al 15 Beogo R et al, 28 nonetheless this is not sustained by different other international and national studies which illustrate that limb fractures are not as much coupled with maxillofacial injuries. This summit to the truth; that was depends upon related injury type & differs with variation in blow and etiology of trauma.…”

“…11 A few written researches regarding modern nations reveal that hit/strike as another factual reason. 12 The face presumes a critical part in the in the body & consequently is prone to strikes, which commonly fetch hopeless troubles & deformation. 13 Apart from facial fractures, the occurrence of concomitant fractures of others bones of body is important to be considered e.g.…”

ABSTRACT… Background: The incidence of maxillofacial fractures is greater in Pakistan. This research has the crucial aim of achieve and indexing maxillofacial injuries in poly trauma patients. Objectives: To assess the concomitant injuries with maxillofacial trauma. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Setting: The department of Emergency and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro. Period: Jan 2014 to Dec 2015. Methods: Total 489 patients of both genders, aged ≥20 years were included. Results: more injuries 359 (73.40%) occurs among the age of 20-39 years. The mainly documented etiologic factor for injury was RTA with 69.38%, followed by assault (16.76%), fall (11.04%) and sports injury was (2.87%). With respect to related injuries, a sum of 48 patients introduced head injuries and other concomitant injuries. The most common fracture noted was mandible 296 (60.53) followed by maxillary fractures 191 (39%), Zygomatic bone complex fractures 65 (13.29%), Naso-orabital ethmoid fractures was 44 (8.99%), majority of patients 186 (38.0%) were arrived in morning time followed by 176 (35.9%) in evening, 88 (17.9%) in afternoon and 39 (7.9%) in night, regarding the day's most patients came on first working day that was Saturday 142 (29.0%). Regarding hospital mortality, 11 (2.2%) people died within less than two days after admittance. Conclusion: The results of this study may support the oral surgeons to rule out other injuries at the time of primary survey and may have a key role in awareness of individuals in prevention of road traffic accidents.

“…These patients sometimes needed to be primarily treated in other medical departments (27). Injuries were commonly observed to the head/brain, upper and lower extremities and chest/clavicle/rib, consistent with other studies (25)(26)(27). Although life-threatening injuries may be sometimes complicated in patients with midfacial fractures (13), no deaths were recorded in the present study.…”

“…The rate of injuries to other sites of the body was significantly higher in patients injured in traffic accidents in an automobile (58.8%), on a motorcycle (36.6%) and as a pedestrian (76.9%), in work-related accidents (38.5%) and falls from a height (33.3%) in terms of the cause and in those with fractures of the multiple sites (53.7%) in terms of the pattern of the fractures. These patients sometimes needed to be primarily treated in other medical departments (27). Injuries were commonly observed to the head/brain, upper and lower extremities and chest/clavicle/rib, consistent with other studies (25)(26)(27).…”

“…Similarly, injuries in simple falls were not so severe, since these injuries occurred by a relatively simple and low velocity impact; however, injuries in traffic accidents, falls from a height and work-related accidents were often severe and associated with injuries to other sites of the body. Since these injuries are considered to occur by higher velocity forces, urgent treatment may be required; therefore, patients injured by these means should be carefully examined and processed for proper management (13,(25)(26)(27).…”

Purpose: To analyze the features of midfacial fractures. Methods: Data of 320 patients treated for midfacial fractures during the past 10 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Patients were 192 male and 128 female. Their age ranged from 1 to 96 years old with the average of 42.1. Injury most frequently occurred by traffic accidents in 168 patients, followed by falls in 78, assaults in 31 and sports in 25. Pattern of the fractures was classified into zygoma in 159 patients, alveolus in 60, multiple sites in 54, maxilla in 45 and nasal bone in 2. Facial injury severity scale ranged from 1 to 12 with the average of 1.52. Injuries to other sites of the body were found in 90 patients. Fractures of multiple sites showed higher facial injury severity scale and were associated with injuries to other sites of the body at a higher rate. Observation was most frequently chosen in 153 patients, followed by open reduction and internal fixation in 72, intramaxillary fixation in 43 and transcutaneous reduction in 26. Conclusions: Midfacial fractures showed a variety of features in terms of the site and severity and associated injuries. Understanding these features is important to manage these patients properly.
