Abstract: Background: Since the face is the most visible part of the human body, it has great aesthetic significance. It also regulates crucial processes including speech and chewing.
Method: The investigation was done at Alshaheed Ghazi Alhariri Specialized Surgery Teaching Hospital and Medical City Complex. Two researchers reviewed 398 oral and maxillofacial surgery patients' hospital records and radiographs from January 2022 to January 2023. The same portion treated all facial fractures. Fractures were characterized by age, sex, anatomical location, and injury aetiology. Anatomical position was utilized to diagnose mandibular fractures by Ivy and Curtis. Maxillary fractures were anatomically identified and classified using Le Fort. Open reduction and internal fixation or closed therapy were employed to classify the fractures.
Results: In a study of 398 patients, road traffic accidents were the most common cause of injury, leading to various fractures with mandibular fractures being the most frequent. The majority of these fractures were treated using open reduction and internal fixation. The study highlighted the prevalence and treatment approaches for different types of facial fractures.
Conclusion: The findings showed that transport accidents caused the most face fractures at Alshaheed Ghazi Alhariri specialized surgical teaching hospital / medical city complex. Sex and aetiology affect men and women's roles and facial trauma features. Men were more impacted than women, particularly young individuals (20-29 years), with the mandibular bone broken first, followed by the zygomatic and nasal bones.
