We conducted a survey of physician members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to determine the incidence and nature of facial traumas seen in their practices. We solicited information on the anatomic location of each injury, the severity of the trauma, and whether the injury occurred during a sports activity. According to the responses, 21% of facial fractures and 29% of nasal fractures were experienced by patients aged 17 years and younger who were participating in sports. We believe that many such injuries can be prevented with greater use of protective equipment.
我们对美国面部整形与重建外科学会的医师会员进行了一项调查，以确定他们在临床中所见面部创伤的发生率及性质。我们收集了有关每次损伤的解剖位置、创伤严重程度以及损伤是否发生在体育活动期间的信息。根据回复，参与体育活动的17岁及以下患者发生了21%的面部骨折和29%的鼻骨骨折。我们认为，更多地使用防护装备可以预防许多此类损伤。
