BACKGROUND/AIM: Midface fractures represent a challenge for medical practitioners due to the severe esthetic and functional consequences. This study aimed to determine the causes and to provide a demographic analysis of zygomatic bone fractures in our geographical area, with a view to implementing the necessary prevention methods, training the medical staff for a certain type of patients and decreasing the required costs.
A retrospective statistical epidemiological analysis of 242 patients with zygomatic bone fractures over a 10-year period was performed.
The most affected age group was 20-29 years (27.27%). The most affected were men (n=211, 87.19%) from urban areas (n=140, 57.85%), and without education (n=122, 50.41%). The most frequent cause was interpersonal violence (54.04%), followed by falls (17.36%) and road traffic accidents (16.53%).
Interpersonal violence as a cause of zygomatic bone fractures is currently reaching epidemic proportions. Taking legal measures to prevent aggression is a public health emergency that would considerably decrease the incidence of these fractures in our population.
背景/目的：由于严重的美观和功能后果，面中部骨折对医学从业者来说是一个挑战。本研究旨在确定我们所在地区颧骨骨折的原因，并进行人口统计学分析，以期实施必要的预防措施，对特定类型的患者进行医护人员培训，并降低所需费用。
对过去 10 年中 242 例颧骨骨折患者进行回顾性统计流行病学分析。
最易受影响的年龄组为 20-29 岁（27.27%）。受影响最大的是男性（n=211，87.19%），来自城市地区（n=140，57.85%），且未接受过教育（n=122，50.41%）。最常见的原因是人际暴力（54.04%），其次是跌倒（17.36%）和道路交通伤害（16.53%）。
人际暴力作为颧骨骨折的原因，目前已达到流行程度。采取法律措施预防攻击是一项公共卫生紧急事件，可大大降低我们人群中这些骨折的发生率。
