摘要：

Over a period of one year 20 549 new patients attended an accident and emergency department. Of these patients, 15 555 were victims of accidents, including 875 who had sustained facial injuries. This latter group comprised 609 patients with soft tissue trauma and 266 with skeletal injury. The frequency, aetiology, age and sex distribution of the facial injuries were analysed and compared with other published statistical surveys of facial injury. It is concluded that facial injuries constitute a significant proportion of the work of a civilian accident unit and that any accident service must have adequate facilities for the management of these injuries. © 1980 John Wright & Sons Ltd.
