Abstract
Our study aimed to evaluate modified patient-specific surgical-guide-assisted precise treatment of unilateral comminuted zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. The retrospective non-randomized study was conducted in a single hospital in China. All patients diagnosed with unilateral comminuted ZMC fractures between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent preoperative spiral computed tomography (CT). CT data were processed using software to DICOM format and transferred to Proplan CMF3.0 for preoperative virtual surgical planning and postoperative evaluation. All data were extracted from standardized electronic medical records. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 20.0. The chi-square test and t-test were used for statistical analyses. The 54 included patients were divided into two comparable, equal cohorts of 27 patients, and followed up for at least 6 months. Fracture reduction was assisted using the modified patient-specific surgical guides in the guide group (23 males, four females; mean age 37.74 ± 12.07 years) and without the modified patient-specific surgical guides in the control group (20 males, seven females; mean age 37.44 ± 13.58 years). In the guide group, the mean eminence deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 1.01 ± 0.92 mm, and the mean width deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 1.29 ± 1.32 mm. In the control group, the mean eminence deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 1.99 ± 1.69 mm, and the mean width deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 2.68 ± 2.01 mm. The differences in facial protrusion (p = 0.001) and width (p = 0.003) symmetry between the affected and healthy sides of the two groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05). In conclusion, applying the modified patient-specific surgical guides to unilateral comminuted zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture reduction has the advantages of greater predictability and effectiveness, and improved bilateral ZMC symmetry. It should be noted that this approach would be especially beneficial for less-experienced surgeons.

[PMID: 38459650 DOI: 10.1111/edt.12942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Results of studies investigating the association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and maxillofacial fractures (MFs) have varied considerably. The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between TBIs and MFs, as well as the impact of age, sex, trauma mechanism, and season on TBIs. MATERIALS AND METHODS This 12-year retrospective study of 2841 patients used univariate and multivariate logistic regression to assess the association between MFs and other factors impacting TBIs. RESULTS Among 2841 patients, 1978 TBIs occurred in 829 (29.2%), with intracranial injuries (n = 828) is the most common. Of 829 patients with TBIs, 688 were male and 141 were female, corresponding to a male-to-female ratio of 4.9:1.0. The most common age group was 40-49 years (24.6%). Vehicles (including motor vehicles and electric vehicles) accidents were the primary causes of injuries. Multivariate regression analyses revealed an increased risk for TBIs among males (odds ratio [OR] 0.632, p < 0.001). Patients >40 years of age were at higher risk for TBIs, especially those ≥70 years (OR 3.966, p = 0.001). Vehicle accidents were a high-risk factor for TBIs (OR 6.894, p < 0.001), and winter was the most prevalent season for such injuries (OR 1.559, p = 0.002). Risk for TBI increased by 136.4% in combined midfacial and mandibular fractures (p = 0.016) and by 101.6% in multiple midfacial fractures (p = 0.045). TBIs were less common in single mandibular fractures, notably in single-angle fractures, with a risk of only 0.204-fold. CONCLUSION TBIs in MFs were significantly correlated with sex, age, aetiology, season and fracture location. Maxillofacial surgeons and emergency physicians must be aware of the possible association between TBIs and MFs to assess and manage this complicated relationship in a timely manner.

[PMID: 37221520 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03006-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological pattern of maxillofacial fractures in northwestern China by retrospectively analysing the demographics, aetiologies, concomitant injuries, fracture sites, and management. METHODS A 10-year retrospective analysis of 2240 patients with maxillofacial fractures admitted to the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University was conducted. The extracted data included sex, age, aetiology, fracture site, concomitant injuries, time of treatment, therapeutic approaches and complications. Statistical analyses were performed, including descriptive analysis and the chi-square test. Logistic regression was used to determine the impact factors of maxillofacial fractures and concomitant injuries. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS The age of the included patients ranged from 1 to 85 years, and the mean age was 35.88 ± 15.69 years. The male-to-female ratio was 3.9:1. The most frequent aetiology of maxillofacial fractures was road traffic accidents (RTAs) (56.3%), and the most common fracture sites were the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus, arcus zygomaticus and mandibular body. A total of 1147 patients (51.2%) were affected by concomitant injuries, with craniocerebral injury being the most common. Logistic regression analyses revealed increased risks of mid-facial fractures in elderly individuals (odds ratio (OR) = 1.029, P < 0.001) and females (OR = 0.719, P = 0.005). Younger patients had a higher risk of mandibular fractures (OR = 0.973, P < 0.001). RTAs increased the risk for mid-facial fractures and high falls increased the risk for mandibular fractures. CONCLUSIONS The maxillofacial fracture pattern is correlated with sex, age and aetiology. Patients were mainly young and middle-aged males, and the main cause of injury was RTAs, mostly causing compound fractures. Medical staff must be systematically educated to comprehensively examine patients with injuries resulting from RTAs. The management of patients with fractures requires thorough consideration of the patient's age, aetiology, fracture site, and concomitant injuries.

Digitally reconstructed severe trauma-induced oro-maxillofacial defects with free vascularised composite tissue flaps. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 60:773-778. [PMID: 35568578 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2021.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to outline the characteristics of severe trauma-induced oro-maxillofacial defects and explore the application of microsurgical reconstruction of these defects by selecting appropriate free vascularised composite tissue flaps. A retrospective analysis was performed in 11 cases with severe trauma-induced oro-maxillofacial defects from 2005 to 2018, All cases were reconstructed with free vascularised composite flaps using a supermicro-surgical/micro-surgical and digital technology. This study consisted of 11 patients (8 men, 3 women) with a median age (range) of 28 (6-64) years. Patients with long-standing trauma experienced severe scars and displacements. The trauma-induced oro-maxillofacial defects ranged in size from 4.0 × 5.0 cm2 to 7 × 15 cm2. Six radial forearm flaps, three fibular osteocutaneous flaps, a lateral thoracic flap, and an anterolateral thigh flap were harvested individually. All patients were treated effectively and followed up for over two years, with a 100% survival rate of these free vascularised composite tissue flaps. No uncontrollable complications occurred, and all patients were satisfied with the postoperative shape and function. The trauma-induced oro-maxillofacial defects display unique features, and microsurgical techniques play an important role in the reconstruction of shapes and function. In addition, some patients may need multi-stage surgeries to attain aesthetic refinement.

Mandible Fractures Associated With the Introduction of an E-Scooter-Sharing System. J Craniofac Surg 2021; 32:1405-1408. [PMID: 33538446 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000007518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT With the introduction of an e-scooter-sharing system in Germany, standing electric scooters became popular modes of transportation in many urban areas. But the increase in popularity has resulted in an increase in traumatic injuries associated with e-scooter accidents. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the common fracture pattern of patients with mandible fractures as a result of an electric scooter accident. The authors performed a retrospective investigation of 52 patients who were admitted to the trauma unit of an oral and maxillofacial department from June until November 2019 with a fracture of the mandible. Our study investigated the first 6 months of e-scooter sharing system in a major city with more than 1 million inhabitants. Our cohort consists of 52 patients, 38 males, and 14 females with a mean age of 37 years. E-scooter related mandible fractures were with 21% the third biggest group, after physical assault and falls. 45% of these patients were intoxicated by alcohol. Furthermore, the majority of e-scooter patients presented more than one fracture of the mandible (73%). For our cohort, a typical combination of a symphysis or body fracture and bilateral affected ramus and/or condyle was the prevalent recorded fracture combination (55%) of e-scooter related traumata. Small scooter wheels, a speed of 15 miles or 20 kilometers per hour and the individual clinging to the handlebar falling predestinate these vehicles for accidents with craniofacial trauma. Among all cranio-facial traumas mandible fractures were mostly documented for e-scooter accidents. The severity of e-scooter related mandible fractures and their fracture pattern should be recognized by trauma units.
