- Beschreibungen/Notizen
- Sports-related maxillofacial fractures were analysed in 80 patients, accounting for 5.6% of all patients with facial bone fractures, treated during the 5-year period 1981–1985. 55% of the patients had 1 or more mandibular fractures and 45% had midface fractures. 6% of the patients had multiple injuries. The most common causes of injury were collision and fall. Soccer and ice hockey turned out to be the most hazardous sports, althogh sports-related maxillofacial fractures were less severe than those related to other causes. The need for oral and facial protection among athletes involved in contact sports is discussed.
