The prevalence of maxillary fractures in trauma patients referred to Shahid Rajaei hospital in Shiraz from 2011 to 2021
,
Abstract
Introduction: Maxillofacial fractures are one of the most common fractures in the body due to trauma. Maxillary fractures, especially Lefort fractures, are common fractures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and etiology of Lefort fractures in patients referred to Shahid Rajaei Hospital during 2011 to 2021. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 2700 patients who referred to the maxillofacial surgery department of Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Shiraz between 2011 to 2021 due to trauma and fractures of the jaw and face were examined. 903 cases were related to patients with upper jaw fracture and were included in the study. The demographic information of the patients, including age, sex, cause of trauma, and also the type of fracture, were extracted from their records. The etiology of maxilla fracture was divided into three groups: vehicle accidents, violence and interpersonal conflict, and accidents during work and sports. Finally, in order to analyze the data, it was done through statistical tests. Results: 65% of patients were male and 35% were female. The average age of people was 38.5 years. Lefort I fracture was reported in 25% of patients, Lefort II fracture in 31% and Lefort III fracture in 11% of patients. 46% of patients had fractured maxilla due to vehicle accidents, 26% of patients due to interpersonal violence, and 27% of patients due to accidents during work and sports. Conclusion: The prevalence of Lefort fracture in men is significantly higher than in women. In our society, injuries caused by road accidents, especially car accidents, are the most common causes of Lefort fractures. The most common type of Lefort fracture is Lefort II fracture. Of course, the cause of injury has an important effect on the pattern of injury.
