Injuries were most common (218 patients, 31%) in the third decade of life and there were 167 (24%) in the second decade. The most common cause was road traffic collisions (382 patients, 54%) and the second most common was a fall from a height (135 patients, 19%). The mandible was the most common bone to be fractured (473 patients, 67%) followed by the zygoma (209 patients, 30%). There were 199 patients with fractured maxillas (28%).",
