Abstract

A 5-year review of facial fractures and concomitant injuries at a level 1 trauma center is presented. The anatomic location of the facial fractures, age and sex of the patients, cause of injury, and associated systems injuries are presented. The majority of facial fractures were found in males; the most prevalent age range was 16 to 30 years. Mandible fractures outranked zygomatic and maxillary fractures (6:2:1). Assaults and motor vehicle accidents were the most frequent causes of facial fractures, and lacerations followed by neurologic and orthopedic injury were the most frequently encountered concomitant injuries. Motor vehicle accidents were the most frequent cause of associated injury.
