Overview of the Skull

The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Maxillofacial fractures are most commonly caused by road traffic accidents, particularly in males, with the mandible being the most frequently affected bone. Miniplate osteosynthesis is a common treatment, though conservative management also remains important.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Facial Reconstruction

Background:

  • Maxillofacial fractures represent a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and treatment of these injuries is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and causes of maxillofacial fractures.
  • To analyze various treatment modalities for these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 1,038 patients with maxillofacial injuries treated between June 2006 and June 2011.
  • Evaluation of injury etiology, fracture type, site, patient demographics, and treatment received.

Main Results:

  • Road traffic accidents were the leading cause of maxillofacial fractures, followed by falls from height.

A Test Bed to Examine Helmet Fit and Retention and Biomechanical Measures of Head and Neck Injury in Simulated Impact

Published on: September 21, 2017

  • Injuries were more prevalent in males, with the mandible being the most commonly fractured facial bone.
  • Miniplate osteosynthesis was the predominant fixation technique, alongside significant use of conservative management.

    • Conclusions:

    • Road traffic accidents are the primary cause of maxillofacial fractures.
    • Male individuals and mandibular fractures are most frequently observed.
    • Both surgical fixation (miniplate osteosynthesis) and conservative management are vital treatment strategies.
