ANALYSIS OF THE OCCURRENCE OF CRANIOFACIAL TRAUMA AMONG CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Abstract
The analysis of the occurrence of craniofacial trauma among children and adolescents was carried out. The causes of injuries, their types and treatment are investigated. The data of the results of diagnosis and treatment of a group of victims who were hospitalized were studied. The proportion of these patients was 19.4% among patients of the department of maxillofacial surgery and neurotraumatology. Work or operation of agricultural equipment, wood processing, falling from a height, injuries inflicted by domestic animals were the main causes of craniofacial injury. The practice of involving children and adolescents in agricultural work should be prohibited, since severe injuries to the facial skeleton and soft tissues can lead to violations of the physical and mental development of children.
