Patterns of craniomaxillofacial trauma among helmeted cyclists.

Background/aim: The head and face are prone to injury in bicycle accidents and helmets are proven to be helpful in decreasing injuries to some extent. The aim of this study was to determine whether certain craniomaxillofacial regions are at increased risk of injury (fracture) during bicycle accidents among helmeted cyclists.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).
