This article discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on facial fractures in Brazil. The pandemic has led to changes in the incidence and causes of facial fractures due to social distancing measures and the risk of aerosolization. The study found a reduction in the frequency of facial fractures during the pandemic, with males being more affected than females. Motorcycle accidents and physical aggression were the main causes of facial fractures, with fractures of the zygomatic bone being the most common type. The severity of fractures was higher in 2019 compared to 2020. The study emphasizes the importance of public awareness campaigns for traffic safety. [Extracted from the article] |
