![]() ![]() The number of cases of isolated fractures of the central midface (except for the isolated nasal bone fractures, which occur most frequently) is reported in these papers as significantly lower. Upper jaw fractures, on the other hand, are common in high-energy trauma, therefore often as part of panfacial fractures 8. The most common fractures are nasal bone fractures 6. Facial fractures are common injuries as results of road traffic accidents, falls, interpersonal violence, sports or work-related accidents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The head and face are exposed to injuries. The diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are appropriate, as there is a low complication rate and short inpatient stay observed. Development of injury prevention measures is needed in this population. The incidence of midfacial fractures is increasing in the total population and especially in elderly, but decreasing in children. The complication rate was 2.02% (Clavien-Dindo class II–V). The average hospital stay was 2.7 days, the most fractures were operated within 24 h. The most common fractures were nasal bone fractures (1405), zygomatic fractures (832) and orbital floor fractures (700). 1:2.51, the age group specific incidence reflects this result, too. ![]() The male-to-female ratio was 2.16:1 for the whole study population, in the age group 18–25 y.o. The yearly trend is slightly increasing, in elderly clearly worsening, in children and youth decreasing. In eleven years, 3474 isolated midface fracture sites have been identified in 2868 patients. The statistical analysis included descriptive methods including regression analysis and χ 2-test. The safety and efficacy of the applied methods were controlled by assessing complications based on the Clavien-Dindo classification system. The patient radiographs and patient files were reviewed. This retrospective study aimed to review all patient records of patients treated for isolated midface fractures in the Department of Cranial- and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Dortmund General Hospital between 20. ![]() An update on the trends in maxillofacial traumatology provides additional information on the actual and changing needs. ![]()
