Abstract

Six hundred and seventy-four cases of facial bone fracture in the past 10 years were studied with respect to age and sex, region, cause, classification, and treatment at our clinic. About half of the cases of the single fractures of nasal bones were caused by sports and fights. Of the other cases of facial bone fracture, about 40% were caused by traffic accidents. Reduction of facial bone fracture should be performed as soon as possible from a functional as well as cosmetic point of view. Hence precise diagnosis and refined techniques of repairing are mandatory to avoid postoperative complications.
