title: Maxillofacial trauma in two rural level II trauma centers.
abstract: A 10-year retrospective study of maxillofacial trauma cases in Southeast Missouri reveals the causes of the trauma and profiles the age and gender of the victims. In contrast with the findings of urban institutional studies, which are more commonly reported, motor vehicle accidents accounted for the majority of these cases.
