Maxillofacial Fracture and Treatment Patterns: A Retrospective Study

Abstract

The epidemiology of maxillofacial fractures varies from country to country. Population density, lifestyle, cultural background, and socioeconomic status can affect the prevalence of maxillofacial injuries. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the epidemiology and treatment plans of maxillofacial fractures in hospitalized patients in a way that would be beneficial for better policymaking strategies. In this retrospective study, medical records of 50 patients who were operated for hospitalization and maxillofacial injury were evaluated. Age, gender, fracture types, causes, treatment plans, and post-treatment complications were recorded. Most of the patients were male (78%). Most of the cases were in the 21-30 age range. Fractures were mostly caused by falls (40%) and accidents (38%), particularly motorcycle accidents, and the most common site of involvement was the parasymphysis region of the mandible. ORIF + IMF (63%) was preferred as a treatment plan. The findings of our study supported the view that the cause and incidence of maxillofacial fractures were different in each country. In contrast to many developed countries, falls and traffic accidents are the most common cause of maxillofacial fractures
