Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of our study is to evaluate the incidence and aetiology of maxillofacial injuries in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Srinagar, Kashmir. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of 206 cases with maxillofacial injuries who were brought to SKIMS, Soura, Srinagar, between January 1985 to December 1992. Parameters such as gender, age, aetiology, soft tissue injury & type of fracture were evaluated. RESULTS Results of this study show that missile injuries are the main cause for maxillofacial injuries followed by RTA, falls and bear bites. MF injuries were more common in adult males than females. The most common type of facial fracture was mandibular fracture, followed by maxilla & zygoma fractures. CONCLUSION Maxillofacial injuries were commonly seen in adult males, due to missile involving mandible, maxilla & zygoma.
