5 / TITLE OF THE TOPIC / STUDY OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CRANIO -MAXILLOFACIAL INJURIES IN HASSAN CITY KARNATAKA, INDIA: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY.
6 / BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:
6.1 Need for the study:
Many causes of craniomaxillofacial injuries have been reported including Road traffic accidents(RTAs), sporting injuries, falls, industrial accidents,1,2 and in some areas of the world, attack by the animals.3 It has also been observed that the incidence and pattern of fractures of the maxillofacial region have been changed over the years.4
The etiology of craniomaxillofacial injuries varies from one country to another and even within the country depending on socioeconomic, cultural and environmental factors in different periods of the year1, 2,5 .There are also reported evidences of high male to female ratio among craniomaxillofacial injuries and even between urban and rural population.
Verification of the etiology of craniomaxillofacial fractures provide an insight into the behavioral patterns of people from different countries and also can help identify ways to prevent such injuries1. Till date no study has been conducted regarding prevalence of craniomaxillofacial injuries in Hassan city. Hence the aim of the present study is to know the etiology, nature of injury and law of the land, which will help us to prevent the injuries by putting forth certain recommendations to law making bodies.
6.2 Review of Literature :
Bolaji O. Ogundare, Andrea Bonnick and Neil Bayley, 2003 conducted a study to focus on the pattern of presentation of mandibular fractures in an urban major trauma centre. Data was collected through previous medical records and he concluded that evolving pattern of fractures in urban trauma centers is showing increasing trend of association with illicit substances and interpersonal violence as a major causative factor6.
A.Olubayo Fasola, Ebener A. Nyako, Ambrose E. Obiechina and Juwon T. Arotiba, 2003 conducted a retrospective study to asses the changes in the pattern of maxillofacial fractures in two different study periods and concluded that of all other etiologic factors traffic accidents remains the major etiological factor of maxillofacial injuries in Nigeria and emphasized the need of strong legislative laws5.
Mohammed Hosein Kalantar Motamedi, 2003 conducted descriptive analytical study to asses cause, type, incidence, demographic and treatment data of maxillofacial fractures managed at a medical centre during 5 year period with existing literature on the subject. Findings matched the existing literature stating that the cause and incidence of maxillofacial injuries vary from one country to another7.
Ugboko V,Udoye C, Ndukwe K, Amole A, Aregbesola, 2005 carried out retrospective analysis of 128 zygomatic complex fractures and after obtaining data concluded that males in their third decade of life recorded highest incidence of injury mainly from vehicular accidents with majority of cases required open reduction with transosseus wiring. He concluded in emphasizing the need by government to enforce strong road laws8.
Taiseer Al Khateeb and Farzad Mohammed Abdullah, 2007 analyzed craniomaxillofacial injuries in selected hospitals in UAE with existing patient files. The results obtained were somewhat similar to reports obtained in other countries. The differences were attributed to peculiar factors like social trends, climate and the cosmopolitan population9.
7. / 6.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
1. To know the prevalence of craniomaxillofacial injuries in hospitals of Hassan city from July 1st 2007 to June 30th 2010.
2. To know the etiology, nature of injury, and law of the land, this will help us to prevent the injuries by putting forth certain recommendations to the law making bodies.
