The protected childhood environment and the anatomy of the craniofacial skeleton largely protect children from experiencing facial fractures. However, when major trauma to the head and face is sustained, an oblique pattern of fractures has been observed, distinct from those common in adults and explicable in terms of the anatomic differences between the child's and the adult's head and face. This difference in pattern of facial fracturing is relevant in terms of the examination, investigation and treatment of the primary injury, and prevention of any subsequent facial growth disturbances.
受保护的童年环境和颅面骨骼结构在很大程度上保护儿童免受面部骨折之苦。然而，当头部和面部遭受重大创伤时，会观察到一种与成人常见骨折不同的斜行骨折模式，这可以从儿童与成人头部和面部的解剖差异来解释。这种面部骨折模式的差异在原发性损伤的检查、诊断和治疗以及预防任何后续面部生长紊乱方面具有重要意义。
