“…Maxillofacial fractures are prone to cause facial deformities and stomatognathic dysfunctions that affect patients' social activities and quality of life, further leading to economic difficulties and psychological problems [1][2][3]. Craniocerebral injury, dyspnea, massive hemorrhage, eye trauma, and cervical vertebral fractures may also occur, and the patient's life may even be threatened in severe cases because of the special anatomical location of the jawbone [4][5][6][7][8].…”

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of maxillofacial fracture cases in a stomatological center in southwest China. Methods: This study includes 1828 cases of maxillofacial fractures treated in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2021. We analyzed the gender, age, causes of injury, fracture sites, concomitant injuries, treatment, and postoperative infection of these cases. Our data are also compared with those from similar domestic studies. Results: Among the 1828 cases, the male-to-female ratio was 2.48:1 with an average age of 34.55 ± 16.36 years. The highest incidence of fracture was 21-50 years old, and the most common cause of injury was falls (38.95%). There was a statistically significant difference in the composition of injury causes among different age groups(P<0.05). Mandible (37.56%) was the most easily fractured site, and limb injury (17.89%) was the most common concomitant body injury. In all cases, 85.23% of patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Conclusions: Maxillofacial fractures often occur in the mandible of young and middle-aged men. Falls and traffic accidents are the main causes of injury, often accompanied by limb and brain injuries. Open reduction and internal fixation is still the most commonly used treatment. There are some differences in the results reported by different domestic hospitals.

IntroductionMaxillofacial injuries are usually associated with ophthalmic injuries that may be mild to severe, and may even result in loss of integrity of the orbital skeleton and impairment of the visual apparatus.AimTo evaluate the pattern of ophthalmic injuries associated with maxillofacial fractures in patients who reported to a tertiary care hospital, associated with a medical college in M.P, India.Material and MethodsThe records of patients who sustained ophthalmic injuries with maxillofacial trauma from 1st January 2012 to 31st January 2024 and reported to the Department of Dentistry of a tertiary care hospital were evaluated. The data related to demographic characteristics, aetiology of trauma, type of maxillofacial fractures and pattern of ophthalmic injuries were gathered and analysed.ResultsA total of 1575 patients with maxillofacial trauma reported to the institute during the study duration. The study sample comprised 1046 (66.41%) maxillofacial trauma patients who sustained ophthalmic injuries. Males were more commonly involved (85.85%) than females (14.15%). The commonly involved age group was 21–30 years with 34.32% of patients belonging to the age group. The most common aetiology was road traffic accidents, reported in 71.89% of patients. Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures were evident in 73.52%, mandibular fractures in 50.19%, naso‐orbito‐ethmoidal (NOE) fractures in 19.41% and frontal bone fractures in 18.74% patients. Subconjunctival haemorrhage was seen in 79.83%, periorbital ecchymosis in 72.94% and periorbital oedema in 60.32% of cases. Retrobulbar haemorrhage was seen in 2.58%, traumatic optic neuropathy in 2.01% and retinal detachment in 0.86% of cases.ConclusionOphthalmic injuries were seen frequently in 66.41% of cases with maxillofacial trauma, particularly in zygomatic complex fractures (73.52%). The findings emphasise that the competency of maxillofacial surgeons plays a vital role in comprehending the severity and management of post‐traumatic ophthalmic consequences in maxillofacial injuries. Also, ophthalmological evaluation in maxillofacial trauma, particularly involving the midface should be considered mandatory.
