Background We assess the effect of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on UK oral and maxillofacial (OMF) trauma services and patient treatment during the first wave of the pandemic. Materials and Methods From April 1st 2020 until July 31st 2020, OMF Surgery units in the UK were invited to prospectively record all patients presenting with OMF trauma. Information gathered included clinical presentation, mechanism of injury, and how it was managed and whether or not treatment included surgery. Participants were also asked to compare the patient’s care with the treatment, which would have usually been given prior to the crisis. Results Twenty-nine units across the UK contributed with 2229 entries. The most common aetiology was mechanical fall (39%). The most common injuries were soft tissue wounds (52%) and mandible fractures (13%) for hard tissues. Of 876 facial fractures, 79 patients had treatment, which differed from that which would be normal pre-COVID and 33 had treatment deferred meaning 112 (14%) patients received care at variance to normal practice because of COVID restrictions. Conclusions The pattern of OMFS injuries changed during the first COVID-19 lockdown period. For the majority, best practice and delivery of quality trauma care continued in spite on-going operational challenges. Changes to treatment affected only a small proportion of patients. The lessons learnt from the first wave combined with adequate resources and pre-operative patient testing should allow those facial injuries in the second wave to receive best practice care. |
