Hand-dominance and fracture laterality in maxillofacial traumas: A retrospective study.
Objective: In maxillofacial trauma, injuries are known to predominantly affect the left side of the face. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hand dominance and the laterality of craniofacial fractures.
Methods: Clinical records of 513 patients with maxillofacial fractures from January 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
A total of 401 right-handed and 112 left-handed patients were evaluated. Accidental falls were the most common cause of injury (50.4%). In patients with fractures on the side opposite the hand dominat, accident falls (78%) and assaults (71%) were the leading causes. The average Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS) was 1.93. A statistically significant association between hand dominance and fracture laterality was found (p-value <0.01) with a phi coefficient of 0.566, indicating a moderate correlation.
Conclusion: The results suggest that hand dominance may play a significant role in determining fracture laterality with 86.5% of patients sustained trauma on the side of their non-dominant hand.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
