Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma in the USA by reviewing surgical cases from a level I trauma center between 2015 and 2018, highlighting a lack of existing literature on the subject.
- - It analyzed 1001 patients, predominantly Black males around 37 years old, finding that assaults and motor vehicle collisions were the main causes of these injuries, with specific fracture types also linked to the mechanism of injury.
- - The findings indicate that severe CMF trauma is notably more common in Black patients, and surgical treatments like ORIF are frequently used for managing mandibular and maxillary fractures, providing valuable insights for evaluating and treating injured populations.

Inflammatory mediators- namely, transforming growth factor beta-have been proposed to influence the dysregulation of collagen remodeling in the scar healing process.
