Aim:
The main objective of this study was to locate the fracture of
midface and treatment modalities of the same through different
approaches.
Materials & Methods:
The patients treated for midfacial bone
fractures at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of
Kantipur Dental College Teaching Hospital and Research Center
during a two-year period between January 2014 and December
2015 were retrospectively analyzed for age, sex and type of injury,
cause of fractures, consciousness status and alcohol abuse
during trauma.
Results:
304 patents were included in the study, 183 (60%) males
and 121 (40%) females, with a total of 412 fractures. Physical
assaults were the most common cause both in young patients
and adult patients (43%) and (47%) respectively. Commonest
fracture sites were buttress (32%) and zygomatic arch (20%) in
young patients and zygomatic arch (34%) and fronto-zygomatic
suture (30%) in adults. Midface fractures is generally treated by
mini plate osteosynthesis (69%) both in young and adult patients.
Conclusion:
This study revealed that the main cause of midfacial
fracture is physical assault both in young and adult patients
(43%) and (47%) followed by falls (37%) and (22%) respectively.
Preventive health care programs should seek measures in the
reduction of aggression and violence in close future involving
family, school and community institutions.
