Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical epidemiological characteristics and treatment methods of maxillofacial fracture patients in the Kashgar Prefecture to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods The medical records of 1 115 patients with maxillofacial fracture admitted to the First People's Hospital of Kashgar from November 2011 to November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed by age composition, sex ratio, cause of trauma, time of injury, site of injury and systemic complications.Results Among the 1 115 patients, the ratio of males to females was 4.7∶1, and those aged 21 to 30 years accounted for the majority of patients, with most injuries occurring in the summer (31.38%) and spring (29.69%). The most common cause of trauma was falling (38.57%), followed by traffic accidents (36.95%). Midfacial fractures were the most frequently observed (65.38%), followed by mandibular fractures(30.26%). In all, 42.15% of cases were complicated with systemic injuries, the majority being ocular injuries (35.55%), followed by limb injuries (21.67%). The majority of patients (50.04%) chose treatment by open reduction and internal fixation. Logistic regression analysis showed that males were more prone to midfacial fractures than females. The occurrence of midfacial fracture became more likely with increasing age.Conclusion In the Kashgar Prefecture, the majority of patients with maxillofacial fracture are male and young or middle-aged. Most maxillofacial fractures occur in the spring or summer and are mainly caused by falling or traffic accidents. Fractures in the middle part of the face are more common. Ocular injury is the most common complication, and in most cases, the fracture is treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The occurrence of midfacial fracture is closely related to age, sex and cause of trauma.
