[Sports and facial injuries. Feasibility and limitations of an epidemiologic study].

Our aim was to conduct an epidemiological study in order to better assess the frequency of maxillo-facial sport injuries. Only those activities that are practised within a sport or game association are included in the study. A standard letter was sent to all French sport and game associations (Olympic or not) as well as to some major insurance companies (73 sport and game associations and 11 insurance companies). However the scope of the study rapidly proved limited since over the two-month period considered only 16 sport associations and one insurance company returned an answer. The exploitable results are presented and a brief overview of the recent relevant international studies is given.

[Biometric data using follow-up x-ray computed tomography of the morphological and structural changes of mandibular bone reconstructions using hydroxyapatite-collagen-GAG].

The use of biomaterials for bone reconstruction raises the problem of their architectural and structural outcome. CT makes an accurate biometric follow-up possible. The association of HA, collagen and GAG appears to be a reliable substitute for bone, owing to the permanence of the dimensional results and to the structural evolution that seems to finally provide total structural restoration.

[Use of a cup-shaped implant of polydioxanone in orbital-malar fractures].

Treatment of orbito-malar trauma has two priorities; restoration of the pelvi-orbital integrity and recovery of malar stability. Numerous techniques using various materials, whether or not of autologous origin, have been developed with this aim in mind. The authors report their experience with the PDS bioresorbable orbital prosthesis within the framework of orbito-malar trauma.

[External fixation devices in maxillofacial surgery].

External fixation devices have relatively little application in stomatology, but they are indispensable in certain situations. Equipment presently available for use by maxillofacial surgeons is relatively reduced in number, and two new fixation devices are proposed : a Jacquet type miniaturized fixation device and one of the Sorem type particularly adapted for the mandible.
