Abstract
The Relevance of the research: In recent years, along with an overall increase in
injuries, injuries to the face and jaw have increased. Soft tissue injuries account for 9.9-
13.5% of all patients, with facial skeleton fractures accounting for 86.5-88.2%. Lower
jaw fractures are the most prevalent (79.7%), followed by upper jaw fractures (9.2%),
nasal bone fractures (4.6%), cheek bone and arch fractures (4.1%), and only 2.4%
fracture of both jaws. Men are almost 8 times more likely than women to sustain
maxillofacial injuries. The majority of the victims (70%) are between the ages of 20 and
40, and in recent years, there has been a "getting younger" trend among the victims.
Patients with maxillofacial injuries are typically classified as severe because damage to
the bones of the facial skeleton is frequently followed by damage to the vision, brain,
and paranasal sinuses. A quick and complex evaluation of patients aids in determining the
prognosis of the condition and developing effective treatment strategies.
