The mandatory use of helmets by motorcyclists has lowered the incidence of facial trauma, but we know little about the effects of different models of helmet on such injuries. We aimed to find out how different types of helmet affect facial injuries. We collected retrospective data from the medical records of 157 patients treated in a trauma centre in metropolitan São Paulo between January and December 2011. Patients wearing open-face helmets were twice as likely to require an operation as those wearing full-face helmets. The type of helmet is strongly associated with the treatment required.
骑摩托车者强制使用头盔降低了面部创伤的发生率，但我们对不同型号头盔对这类损伤的影响知之甚少。我们旨在查明不同类型的头盔如何影响面部损伤。我们从2011年1月至12月在圣保罗市一家创伤中心接受治疗的157例患者的病历中收集了回顾性数据。佩戴开面头盔的患者需要接受手术的可能性是佩戴全脸头盔患者的两倍。头盔类型与所需治疗密切相关。
