A prospective four-year-study of 945 fractures of the facial skeleton is presented. Details of facial trauma were collected in patients referred from the Bradford and Airedale Districts of West Yorkshire, England, an area with a population slightly in excess of half a million. Statistical analysis shows variations from previously published papers, the male to female ratio being under 2.6:1, with an average of 1.15 fractures per patient. A relatively high incidence of sports fractures is reported but the number of industrial accidents is surprisingly low. The majority of patients seen were in their third decade, the mean age being just over 25 years. The analysis also reveals that a high percentage of fractures were treated conservatively.
本文介绍了一项针对945例面部骨骼骨折的前瞻性四年研究。研究收集了来自英国西约克郡布拉德福德和艾尔代尔地区患者的面部创伤细节，该地区人口略超过50万。统计分析显示，与之前发表的论文有所不同，男女比例低于2.6:1，平均每位患者有1.15处骨折。报告显示运动骨折的发生率相对较高，但工业事故数量出奇地低。所见患者大多数处于第三个十年，平均年龄刚过25岁。分析还表明，很大比例的骨折采用了保守治疗。
