Abstract
It is said that facial fracture is the one of the most prominent injuries that plastic surgeons encounters. Here, we present a statistical study of 609 cases with facial bone fractures examined at Showa University Fujigaoka Hospital from 2014 to 2019. Data concerning sex, age, situation, and injured site were evaluated. Our results showed that patients with facial bone fractures tended to be male (72.7%). The most common region of facial bone fracture was the nasal bone (38.3%) followed by the orbital bone (23.7%), zygomatic bone (19.9%), mandible (8.71%) and maxilla (5.7%). We performed chi-square test and residual test from our results. From the above tests, our study showed that younger generations tend to have nasal bone fractures due to sports activity which is the same as in the in the past reports. However, orbital bone fractures occurred more frequently, and mandible fracture was less frequent fracture was less frequent which is different from past reports.
