Abstract

Objective: Maxillofacial trauma is a physical trauma of hard and soft tissues of the face. Midfacial fractures cause functional failure, facial asymmetry, and decreased quality of life. The incidence of fractures was high because of the anatomical configuration of prominent bones. The aim was to determine the characteristics of midfacial fractures at the Oral and maxillofacial surgery department RSHS Bandung from January – December 2019

Materials and Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive retrospective study with samples of all midfacial fractures from the total population of oromaxillofacial trauma at the Oral and maxillofacial surgery department RSHS Bandung from January - December 2019.

Results: 166 patients with maxillofacial trauma, there were 78 patients with midfacial involvement with the most fracture locations in the zygoma 64.103%, the most complex fractures were Le Fort-2 fractures 11.54 %, the majority of trauma isolated in the midfacial 53% and 47% accompanied by trauma from another region, the most accompanied by trauma to the mandible bone by 34.62%.

Conclusion: Zygoma fracture was the most common fracture due to the anatomical configuration of the prominent midfacial bone
