abstract="We reviewed the medical records of 2748 patients treated for maxillofacial injuries at Sri Ramachandra Medical and Dental College and Hospital between January 1999 and December 2005. 1332 (42%) had soft tissue injuries, 1176 (37%) had mid face fractures, and 512 (16%) had mandibular fractures. Most patients with midface fractures had fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary region 422 (36%), while fractures of the parasymphyseal region were more common in the mandible 156 (31%). Most patients were in the 21-30 year-old age group, and the male:female ratio was 3.7:1. Road crashes, particularly involving motorcycles, accounted for 1710 (62%), with a high prevalence during the month of September and on Saturdays.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
