Maxillofacial Injuries and Violence Against Women

Author(s):
Oneida A. Arosarena, Travis A. Fritsch, Yichung Hsueh
Publisher(s):
American Medical Association (AMA)
This study reveals that victims of intimate partner violence are likely to suffer certain types of fractures around the eye or upper face, which differ from facial injuries sustained by other types of assaults or accidents. These results, in conjunction with other presenting circumstances, such as delay in presentation, can assist the surgeon treating patients with maxillofacial injury in recognizing intimate partner violence.
