Dr S. Anuradha, Dr. V. Jeyakodish

Abstract :

Facial injuries are indicators of the energy of injury. The aetiology of facial soft tissue trauma varies considerably depending on age, sex and geographic location. Mechanism of injury for facial injuries varies from place to place depending on the degree of urbanization, socioeconomic status and cultural background. In rural areas domestic violence contribute to majority and in metropolitan areas Road traffic accidents contribute the main cause. Alcohol consumption is a major factor for those between the ages of 30 and 50 years. We have analysed the various parameters associated with facial soft tissue injuries – mode of injury, site of injury and different methods of reconstruction.
