ABSTRACT

Introduction: the maxillofacial fractures account for more than the 50 % of the total of fractures and often are associated with other fractures of the human body.
Objectives: to study the behavior of these lesions in patients from the Maabar's University Hospital of the Thamar's University (Yemen), to determine its relation to age, sex, etiology and location and to compare it with the results of other studies conducted in Cuba and other countries.
Methods: a retrospective, descriptive and statistic study was conducted on the maxillofacial fractures seen by the Cuban professor brigade in this hospital between 2006 and 2009. The study variables were: sex, age, cause of the fracture and involved region, as well as the type of fracture and associated traumata.
Results: the male sex was more involved that the female one. The road accidents were the commonest cause (more than the 50 % of cases). The nose fracture was the more frequent and in more than of 150 cases there were associated traumata much of them very severe including skull fracture, of extremities and soft tissue wounds.
Conclusions: the results confirm that the male sex is the more involved one and that the road accidents are the leading cause of face fractures. The nose fracture is the more frequent of all that of facial bones (more than 50 % of cases), but others register the mandible or the zygomatic region as the more frequent involved zone. The mandibular fractures were impressive in children, something not frequent in Cuba.
