RESUMEN

A four years retrospective study from was conducted to analyze the pattern and magnitude of maxillofacial trauma in medico-legal cases coming to the casualty of a rural hospital of Punjab. The study revealed that out of 1237 medico-legal cases 130 (10.5%) suffered maxillofacial trauma. The commonest age group prone to maxillofacial injury was between 16-30 years. Male preponderance was quiet evident (6:1). The commonest cause of such injuries was road traffic accident including 83.1% of the total cases. Soft tissue was the most common type of maxillofacial trauma (52.3%). Most common bones involved were nasal bone and mandible (18.5% each) and the commonest associated injury was involvement of limbs (30.0%). Most common weapon involved was blunt (90.8%). Drawing public attention and awareness towards the traffic rules especially use of helmets by the motorcyclists and separation of pedestrians from motor vehicles could possibly reduce the number of maxillofacial trauma cases.
