| Abstract: | A ten-year review of ninety-three patients aged 16 years or less treated for facial bone fractures at the University College Hospital, Ibadan was studied. Of the total number of 1203 patients of all ages treated for facial fractures, 93 (7.7%) were within the age range of the study. The male to female ratio was 2.6:1 and majority of the patients (50,53.8%) were within age group C (11-16 years). The mandible (106,83.5%) was more involved than the middle third of the facial skeleton (21, 16.5%). Road traffic accidents (51.6%) were the most common cause of facial fractures while the most common concomitant injuries were soft tissue injuries (74.5%). |
