Summary

Trauma is one of the leading causes of death among people under 40 years of age, the causes are numerous but the majorities are involved in road traffic accidents (RTA). The oral and maxillofacial injuries are the common presentation of hospitals either as an isolated injury ( 50%) and rest 20-30% are associated with multiple injuries to the head, neck, chest, abdomen and extremities. These injuries may cause serious functional, psychological, physical, and cosmetic disabilities.

Maxillofacial fractures are a large public health problem with a significant negative impact on an individual's overall health and even survival. The cause, severity, and temporal distribution of maxillofacial trauma can assist in establishing clinical and research priorities for effective treatment and prevention of these injuries. Also understanding maxillofacial trauma helps to evaluate the behaviour patterns of people in different countries and to establish effective prevention and treatment strategies.

To this end, numerous studies have been carried out to explore the epidemiological features of maxillofacial fractures in different population groups. However, to best our knowledge, there is a lack of research about maxillofacial injuries for this region. Hence the main purpose of this study is to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of prevalence, aetiology, sex and age distributions, fracture site, treatment pattern, associated injuries, and complications of maxillofacial fractures treated at the National Medical College and others Hospitals of Birgunj Metropolitan city over a 10-year period from June 2011 to June 2021. A specific form (oral and maxillofacial injury proforma) will be used to collect the data from medical records of patients who had sustained oral and maxillofacial injuries and admitted as well managed at the hospitals (National Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Birganj health care, Gandak hospital, LS Neuro hospital. Birgunj). Subjects would be the patients' data's/ medical records present in hospitals, Birganj. From the patient files or medical records, following information will be gathered include demographics (e.g. age, sex), the aetiology of injury, anatomic site of the fracture, time of hospital admission and operation, presence and location of associated injuries, treatment pattern, length of in-hospital stay, and complications.
