Accidentes de tráfico/motocicleta (23,7%) y violenciafísica (20,4%) fueron los factores etiológicos más comunes. Las fracturas faciales fueron detectadasen 90,9%, con una diferencia estadisticamente significativa entre el sexo y la fractura facial(p = 0,000). La fractura facial más común fue maxilar (29,1%), seguida por la de la mandíbula(27,5%). Hubo una asociación positiva entre la presencia de la fractura facial y el consumo dealcohol (p = 0,002).
