title: [Sports-related fractures of the facial skull in Austria].
abstract: Details of injuries to the maxillo-facial region have been collected over a five year period. 635 fractures in this region were registered resulting from 24 different sports. Soccer was found as the most dangerous individual sport. There is no absolute safe kind of sport but we suggest that the number of fractures depends too on a local factor.
