[Sports-related maxillofacial trauma in young patients].
314 young patients with sports-related maxillofacial trauma were classified into 34.7% facial fractures, 35.9% dentoalveolar trauma and 28.4% soft tissue injuries. In the alpine regions the distribution of fractures by aetiology is dominated by skiing accidents. 43% of the midface fractures are due to fractures of the zygomatic bone and arch. Children up to ten years are more prone to dentoalveolar trauma. Opportune preventive measures are recommended.
