A Cross-Sectional Study of the Prevalence and Severity of Maxillofacial Fractures Resulting from Motor Vehicle Accidents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

ConclusionsMVAs were the main cause of trauma and affected mainly young males. The most common site of fracture was midface, specifically orbit. Subcondylar was the most prevalent fracture site for mandibular fractures. The severity of MVAs injuries was significantly higher compared to non-MVAs injuries. We suggest enforcing legislation and regulations on road safety such as the use of compulsory seat belts.
