[Basal metabolism in patients with a maxillofacial injury and disordered masticatory function].
In 31 patients (males, aged 21 to 50) with maxillary fractures basal metabolism was investigated during 24 days by the method of gas exchange. From the moment of the injury and up to the 18th day its level is shown to be by 19.9--30.6 per cent higher than in healthy persons and later on falls down to the normal value.
