Abstract:
Objective This study aims to analyze the clinical epidemiology,diagnostic and treatment characteristics of minor patients with maxillofacial fracture and provide a reference for the prevention and treatment.Methods The clinical data of minor patients with maxillofacial fracture in Department of Traumatic and Plastic Surgery,West China Hospital of Stomatology,Sichuan University,from January 1,2015 to December 31,2020 were retrospectively studied and statistically analyzed in terms of age,gender,etiology,anatomic sites and treatment modalities.Results The mean age of the patients was(10.65±5.15)years,and the male-to-female ratio was 1.91∶1.High fall was the primary cause of maxillofacial fractures in minors aged 0-6 years.Traffic accident injuries were the main cause of maxillofacial fractures in minors aged 7-12 and 13-17 years.About 65.13%of the midface and 83.08%non-condylar fractures were mainly treated by surgery,and condylar fractures were treated conservatively in 74.73%and by surgical treatment in 25.27%.Conclusion The etiology of maxillofacial fractures in minors differs at different ages,so prevention strategies should be adjusted according to age.Surgical treatment has become the preferred treatment modality for midface and non-condylar fractures.Conservative treatment is still the main treatment method for condylar fractures,but the proportion of surgical treatment increases.
