The prevalence and characteristics of these injuries in Jordan remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and patterns of maxillofacial injuries among females affected by domestic violence in Jordan.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 2643 records of domestic violence\u2010related maxillofacial injuries in females were retrieved from the Family Protection and Juvenile Department and the Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments of two major hospitals in Jordan. Descriptive statistics were computed, and associations were evaluated using Chi\u2010square and Kruskal\u2010Wallis tests. Significance was set at\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2264\u20090.05.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean age at the time of injury was 29.19\u2009years (SD: 11.8). The spouse was responsible for violent acts in 20% of cases. In 89.9% of cases, injuries were caused by direct blows. Soft tissue injuries were observed in most cases (98.1%), followed by midfacial fractures (5.6%), dentoalveolar injuries (1.7%), upper face fractures (1.2%), and lower face fractures (0.9%). The vast majority did not require surgical intervention (98.9%). Concomitant injuries to other body regions were identified in 70.6% of cases, with the upper extremities the most frequently affected (50.4%). Trauma to the upper extremities showed a significant inverse association with midfacial fractures (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001). Recurrent trauma was documented in 7.6% of cases. Individuals with recurrent trauma were more likely to present with concomitant injuries to other body regions (84.2%) than first\u2010time trauma victims (69.5%).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Facial soft\u2010tissue injuries were the most frequent. Midfacial fractures were the most common facial fracture type, though they were rare and less likely when an upper\u2010limb injury occurred. Repeated trauma increases the likelihood of multiple fractures, emphasizing the need for early detection, reporting, and referral by healthcare professionals including oral & maxillofacial surgeons and dental health professionals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.70091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T03:59:18Z","timestamp":1782100758000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Maxillofacial Injuries in Female Victims of Domestic Violence: A 5\u2010Year Retrospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1530-8799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh","family":"AlKadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry Jordan University of Science and Technology Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7569-0662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Areej","family":"Alqadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry Jordan University of Science and Technology Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ikhlas Bani","family":"Baker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Al\u2010Bashir Hospitals, Ministry of Health Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rund","family":"Khasawneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah University Hospital Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manar","family":"AlTayyar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah University Hospital Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamza","family":"Al Salieti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry Applied Science Private University Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdelrahman","family":"Alzoubi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al\u2010Bashir Hospitals, Ministry of Health Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9339","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1083","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)11133-0","article-title":"The World Report on Violence and Health","volume":"360","author":"Krug E.
