title: [Morbidity analysis of 1484 facial bone fractures between 1968 and 1987].
abstract: In the years 1968 to 1987 a total of 1484 patients were treated for facial bone fractures at the Hospital for Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery of Neuruppin. Most of them were aged between 16 and 25 years. In the majority of the cases, the injuries resulted from acts of violence (40%) and road accidents (35.7%), although the number of care accidents is decreasing. The ratio of mandibular to midfacial fractures is 2.2: 1. Multiple injuries were found in 60% of the patients. The use of surgical treatment methods increased to 30%.
