Abstract

V originále

Objectives: This study aims to provide an eleven - year retrospective statistical analysis of middle facial third injuries in combination with frontobasal and intracranial injury in 84 patients admitted and treated between October 1st 2002 and September 30th 2013 in Department of Maxillofacial surgery of The University Hospital Brno; to determine the age, distribution, etiology, type of injury, therapy, the influence of alcohol and others substances; and to suggest measures to prevent such injuries. Results: Road traffic accident (RTA) was the most common cause for maxillofacial injuries in all categories. Increasing velocity leads to more serious injuries and worse therapy outcome. About 45% of all the injuries were sustained in the age group of 40 - 60 years. Eleven patients with maxillofacial injuries were under the influence of alcohol, five of them were fall cases and six were RTA. Alcohol influence did not significantly worsen their prognosis and therapeutic outcome though. Conclusion: RTAs are the most common cause for maxillofacial injuries and their incidence is increasing rapidly. If RTAs are considered an epidemic of modern times, then prevention is the vaccine.
