Falls were the most common mechanism of injury. Maxillary fractures mainly involved the zygomaticomaxillary complex and were frequently managed conservatively, whereas mandibular fractures predominantly affected the body and symphysis\/parasymphysis and were treated with open reduction and internal fixation in 89% of cases, usually with rigid fixation. Fracture site displacement was statistically associated with ORIF, both for maxillary (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.010) and mandibular fractures (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.026).
