CURRENT VIEWS ON THE TREATMENT OF FACIAL FRACTURES ACCOMPANIED BY TRIGEMINAL NERVE DAMAGE

Abstract

According to statistics, the incidence of injuries and accidents ranks third in the structure of mortality in the world: after cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms; second among the causes of disability and temporary disability. The incidence of trauma to the maxillofacial region (TMF) is steadily increasing, averaging 6-8% of the total number of injuries each year. Statistics from major cities show a marked increase in the proportion of maxillofacial trauma (OMT) with facial skull fractures, accounting for up to 42% of hospital admissions. According to the WHO, 350 000 working-age people die each year and more than 7.3 million injured people become disabled each year.
