Purpose:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of 621 hospitalized patients with craniomaxillofacial fractures by a retrospective study.
Methods:
From July 2015 to August 2016, the medical records of 621 patients with craniomaxillofacial fractures in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital were analyzed statistically according to age, gender, etiology and site of fracture. Chi-square test was used to analyze the causes of single and multiple fractures with SPSS 20.0 software package.
Results:
The male to female ratio was 2.18: 1. The average age was 34.7±15.5 years with 19-29 years old group accounted for the most (28.3%). Traffic accident was the top cause of injury (49.0% ); There were 319 cases of orbital fractures (51.4%), followed by 292 cases of zygomatic complex (47.0%) and 247 cases of mandibular fractures (39.8%).
Conclusion:
The quantity and location of fractures are related to the cause of injury, the nature of stress and anatomical structure of corresponding areas. Establishing a sound system of traffic accident management and related laws is an urgent problem to be solved.
