Objective To analyse the characteristics of maxillofacial injuries resulted in different causes. Methods A retrospective review was done of patients admitted to the Stomatology Hospital of Fourth Military Medical University from January, 1996 to July, 2003. Data was grouped by different causes. Results 1 188 patients were reviewed, the majority of victims caused by different causes were males, the ratio of male and female is 3.34∶1. Most industrial and sport injury occurred in men. Traffic accidents were the major cause of the midface fracture and mandibular fracture. While violence was the major cause of pure soft injure and alveolar bone fracture. Conclusions Traffic accidents and violence were the major causes of facial injury. The facial injury caused by traffic accidents, industrial accidents and fall was more serious than those caused by other causes. More emphasis should be put on the prevention and treatment of these injuries to minimize the maxillofacial malformation.
