The importance of facial trauma comes from the possibility of leaving serious functional and aesthetic consequences. Since 1990 patients with facial fractures were treated at the Emergency Ward of the Hospital das Clinicas of the Medical Faculty of São Paulo by plastic surgeons. In 24 months, 130 patients with facial fractures were treated there. The main causative factors were motor vehicle accidents (51%) and the main bone fracture was that of mandible (46%). A correlation between the kind of trauma and the kind of fracture is made.
面部创伤的重要性源于其可能导致严重的功能和美学后果。自1990年以来，圣保罗医学院临床医院急诊科的整形外科医生对面部骨折患者进行了治疗。在24个月内，有130名面部骨折患者在那里接受了治疗。主要致病因素是机动车事故（51%），主要骨折部位是下颌骨（46%）。对创伤类型和骨折类型之间的相关性进行了分析。
