“…There was a significant difference in injury severity amongst groups, which indicated that the MFISS had a higher sensitivity in evaluating maxillofacial trauma. It has been noted that mandibular fracture scored a higher value in MFISS evaluation than maxillary or zygomatic arch fracture, which was in agreement with other studies 1,12,19,20,23 . In view of the outcome of functional recovery or disability, the result obtained from MFISS evaluation seemed logical.…”

“…Mandibular fractures were not significantly associated with one of the different types of hemorrhages. Our data support reports that midface fractures rather than mandibular fractures are more frequently associated with closed head injury and death from neurologic injury 11,19 . GOPA-LAKRISHNA et al 5 also found the anatomic composition of the maxilla, nose, and zygoma (thickness of bone and hollow interiors) to make them more susceptible to fracture compared with the mandible.…”

“…Beaman and colleagues reported 25,093 cases of intentional SIGW and found that 70.9% of these injuries were directed at the head. 5 The lethality of such injuries was 2.5 times higher for this anatomic subgroup than for any other area of the body. Indeed, unintentional injuries resulting from SIGW has been found to be a small but significant number; 4.3% in a study from a metropolitan area.…”

“…Alternatively, various patterns of facial fractures resulting from blunt trauma have been linked to neurologic mortality. 5 These studies do not reveal which type of penetrating craniofacial injury, if any, is related to mortality.…”
