BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate changing pattern in
characteristics of maxillofacial fractures and concomitant injuries in Western
Libya During revolution and to assess the association between mechanism of injury
and fracture patterns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective review of medical
records and radiographs of 187 patients treated for maxillofacial fractures from
January 2010 to December 2012 was performed, there were 326 fractures in 187
patients. RESULTS: The male: female ratio was 6:1. Most fractures occurred in
patients aged 11 to 40 years, and few injuries occurred in patients aged > 50
years. Most fractures occurred from motor vehicle accidents, and other most
frequent causes included assault, gunshot, and fall injuries. Most maxillofacial
fractures involved the mandible, zygomatic complex, or maxilla. Most mandibular
fractures occurred at the parasymphysis, angle, or condyle. Associated injuries
most frequently involved the head, chest, and extremities. Most patients were
treated with open reduction (132 patients [71%]), and 26 patients (14%) were
treated nonoperatively. There were 21 complications (11%). CONCLUSIONS: In
summary, motor vehicle accidents were the most frequent cause of maxillofacial
fracture in western Libya, possibly because of the lack of seat belt legislation.
Interpersonal violence was a less frequent cause of maxillofacial fracture,
possibly because of the religious restriction on alcohol consumption.
