INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to determine the types of @entity8494 treated in a one-year in a maxillo-facial unit operating in a mountainous region. METHODS: All @entity1 admitted to the Grenoble University Hospital maxillo-facial unit for a one year period were studied. We noted cause of @entity130 , age, sex, type and location of @entity174 , type of soft tissue injury, time between @entity130 and surgery. RESULTS: A total of 994 @entity1 presenting maxillo-facial @entity130 underwent surgery over one year; 30% of the unit's maxillo-facial surgical activity. On average, 80 @entity1 were treated for maxillo-facial @entity130 per month, with a peak of 97 @entity8494 in July; 65.6% were hospitalized in the maxillo-facial unit; 25,4% of the injured were aged between 21 and 30 years. Sex-ratio was 2.7M/1F. The most frequent cause was @entity2587 (25.8%) followed, in decreasing order, by traffic @entity130 (23.1%), @entity130 (17.6%), fight @entity130 (3.4%), @entity130 (3.4%) and @entity235 bites (3.2%). 10.5% of the @entity130 occurred in a mountainous setting and 40.7% were @entity2587 , 95% of which during practice of winter's sports. Injuries included @entity174 (65.5%) with or without soft tissue damage, and soft tissue @entity130 only (34.5%); 33.6% of the @entity1 had other lesions of the body. 67.2% underwent surgery within the first 24 hours and 86.9% before the fifth day. DISCUSSION: Sports accidents are the leading cause of facial @entity130 in the mountainous regions. Most @entity8494 result from @entity88 , surf and other winter sports accidents. Most of the victims were given surgical care within the first 24 hours following the accident.
