Mathematical assessment of foetal facial skeleton development

The goal of the study was to analyse statistically the survey of measurable parameters distinguishing human facial skeleton as well to construct mathematical model describing foetal facial skeleton selected features. The material consisted of 112 foetuses (44 females – 39.29% and 76 males – 60.71%) in the CRL: 83-245 mm, aged 4-7 months of foetal life. The whole of the examined material origina...

Fractures of the facial skeleton

The facial skeleton: Armor to the brain?

BACKGROUND With the development of urban setting worldwide, the major issue of concern is the increase in the mortality rate in the population due to road traffic accidents. The face, being the most exposed region is susceptible to injuries and maybe associated with injuries to the adjacent neuro-cranium. The literature has conflicting views on the relationship between facial fractures and head...

Fractures of the facial skeleton and facial asymmetry

Fractures of the mandible and middle third of the facial skeleton are most commonly the result of road traffic accidents or physical combat (Hagan and Huelke, 1961; van Hoof, Merkx and Stekelenburg, 1977; Starkhammar and Olofsson, 1982; Brook and Wood, 1983). In recent years the introduction of compulsory seat belt legislation has decreased the incidence of these injuries in the UK (Price, 1983...
