Abstract:
Between October 2008 and January 2011, a total of 1202 patients with soft tissue and hard tissue injuries of face were studied. Of whom 1057(88%) were male and 145 (12%) female. Injuries were most common 389(32.36%) in the third decade of life and there were 282 (23.46%) in the 4th decade. The most common cause was road traffic collisions (n=682; 56.73%) and the second most common was a fall from a height (n=330; 27.45%). Total number of isolated soft tissue injury was 1038, forehead being the most common site of injury. There were 164 hard tissue injuries; the mandible was the most common bone to be fractured in 106 patients, followed by the zygoma in 47 patients. There were 31 patients with fractured maxilla, 15 nasal bone and 11 orbital bone fracture.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
