The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of midface fractures. We observed clinically 71 patients with midface fracture who visited the Department of oral and maxillofacial-surgery, Chosun University, Dental Hospital, from 1991 to 1994. The results obtained were as follows. 1. There was the highest age incidence in the third decade(29.6%). 2. There was the highest incidence in the summer(36.6%). 3. The most etiologic factor of midface fracture was traffic accidents(43.6%) and next factor was fall down(38.0%). 4. The highest incidence fracture was zygomatic arch(38.7%) and next fracture was ZMC fracture(31.5%). 5. Most midface fracture was treated within 2 weeks(86.7%). 6. Midface fractures was most frequently combined with mandibular fracture(15.5%), head injuries(14.1%), orthhopedic injuries(8.5), thorax & abdomen(5.6%). 7.
