Traffic accidents are one of the most leading cause of maxillofacial trauma. Defining the bone fracture patterns in different type of traffic accidents may enable for appropriate surgical approach.
This study research the pattern of pediatric maxillofacial fractures in terms of different type of traffic road accidents and age groups.
The data on road traffic accidents that caused maxillofacial trauma between May 2014 and January 2019 was gained from the University of Gaziantep hospital data system. Road accident type, age groups, and the type of fractures were the evaluation parameters.
A total of 61 patients meet the criteria and 41 of those were boys. The midface bones of orbital, maxillar, and frontal are the most fractured structures with a total number of 48. The least fractured bone was mandibula with a number of 4. The comparisons of these fractures among the different type of road traffic accidents and age groups were found to be statistically significant.
Car-pedestrian and car-passengers type of road traffic accident mostly seem to cause midface fractures at the primary and secondary school-aged children.
交通事故是颌面创伤最主要的原因之一。明确不同类型交通事故中的骨折模式有助于采取合适的手术方法。
本研究从不同类型的交通事故和年龄组方面研究儿童颌面骨折的模式。
从加济安泰普大学医院数据系统获取2014年5月至2019年1月期间导致颌面创伤的道路交通事故数据。道路事故类型、年龄组和骨折类型为评估参数。
共有61例患者符合标准，其中41例为男性。眼眶、上颌骨和额骨的面中部骨骼是骨折最多的结构，总数为48处。骨折最少的骨头是下颌骨，有4处。这些骨折在不同类型的道路交通事故和年龄组之间的比较具有统计学意义。
汽车与行人碰撞以及汽车与乘客碰撞类型的道路交通事故似乎最常导致中小学年龄段儿童的面中部骨折。
