ABSTRACT

The incidence and prevalence of maxillofacial trauma has been reported in many countries, with differences between the different studies due to sociocultural factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2011 and 2015, with the aim of knowing the epidemiology of maxillofacial fractures. All the patients with fractures who attended the maxillofacial surgery service of the Carlos M. de Céspedes Hospital, who required a surgical reduction, were registered. Information was collected according to the patient's age and gender, type of fracture, location and date of intervention. The total number of patients was 262, totaling 302 fractures. The average age for pooled data was 33.7 years (SD 12.1). The male-female ratio was 9: 1. Of the total number of interventions performed (n = 302), 51.6 % corresponded to malar zygomatic fractures, followed by mandible 22 %. This study shows characteristics similar to other studies in terms of affected population.
