Abstract
The authors performed a retrospective study to clarify the occurrence, causes, severity and predictors of concomitant injuries in pediatric patients with facial fractures in Portugal. The clinical records of children and adolescents (0-18 years) with facial fractures treated by the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery and of Maxillofacial Surgery of São João Hospital, in Porto, Portugal, over a period of 20 years (1993-2012) were reviewed. A total of 1416 patients with facial fractures were included in this study. Concomitant injuries were observed in 1015 (71.7%) patients. No significant associations were found between sex and concomitant injury. Head and neck injuries other than facial fractures occurred in 962 patients (67.7%), lower limb injuries in 122 (8.6%), upper limb injuries in 115 (8.1%), thoracic injuries in 89 (6.3%) and abdominal injuries in 47 (3.3%). Concomitant injuries occurred more frequently after motor vehicle accidents (car accident, motorcycle accident and car-pedestrian accident) compared with other etiologies (p < 0.001). The incidence of these facial fractures and their concomitant injuries is very high in Portugal. It is necessary to continue with the implementation of control ...Continue Reading
