Epidemiologic analysis of pediatric maxillofacial trauma

Abstract

BPurpose: This study aimed to analyze epidemiology and the treatment approaches for pediatric maxillofacial trauma patients who presented to the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery during 5 years period. Materials and Methods: Age and gender distributions of the patients were determined. Duration of hospitalization, etiology of trauma, location of the fracture, and treatment methods applied was determined, and the results of these treatments and complications that developed were evaluated. Results: The fractures were the most common at the age of 17 years (18.3%). The most common cause of trauma in patients operated for maxillofacial trauma was fall (48.3%). Most operations were performed in the age range of 12–17 years (50.6%), and panfacial fractures were the most frequently operated fracture localization (27.58%). Conclusion: The simplest and most effective treatment should be applied for pediatric maxillofacial trauma. While conservative treatments may be sufficient in minimally displaced fractures, open reduction and internal fixation methods are applied in fractures with greater displacement. Fixation materials must necessarily be removed since they prevent bone growth. The use of bioabsorbable plates has been limited in recent years due to their high costs.
