Abstract
The reported trends in the incidence by age group and types of fracture can assist physicians by serving as supplement for clinical history and examination when encountering this challenging patient population. Our findings highlight preventative opportunities, particularly in baby care items and beds for reducing facial fractures in infants. Similarly, preventative opportunities are highlighted in household items and furniture for lowering the incidence of facial fractures in toddlers and children. Our study also suggests ensuring safe handling of playground equipment and riding toys for the prevention of facial fractures in children.
