Maxillofacial trauma has an important incidence worldwide, associated with high morbidity, loss of function, aesthetic sequelae, and significant monetary cost for public health institutions, since most of them require hospitalization. In addition, they generate the need for highly qualified personnel, and timely diagnosis is of vital importance. The prevalence and incidence of maxillofacial fractures have been widely described, however, the results usually present differences due to the sociocultural, demographic and development level of each country. Our objective is to describe the frequency of maxillofacia fractures treated surgically by the oral and maxillofacial surgery team of the Instituto Traumatológico Dr. Teodoro Gebauer Weisser between the years 2011-2020. A review of the clinical records was carried out identifying the following variables: anatomical site of the fractures, affected side, etiology, date of intervention, patient age and sex. The sample consisted of 596 patients with 969 maxillofacial fractures. On average, the patients had 1.6 fractures. The 80.4% corresponded to men. The average age was 40.2 years, with the 30-39 years category being the most affected.Of the total number of fractures operated on, 50.3% occurred on the right side, 52% on the mandible. The most frequent anatomical site of fracturewas the mandibular angle, followed by parasymphisiary fractures and fractures of the orbito-maxillo-malar complex. The main cause was aggression by third parties (49%), followed by traffic accidents and falls. Within the 10 years included, 2011 was the year with the highest number of patients operated on (81), in contrast to 2020, when only 35 were operated on. The results obtained allow us to describe the distribution of maxillofacial fractures requiring surgical treatment in the population studied. The data obtained show similar characteristics to other studies in relation to the affected population and the location or anatomical site of the fractures.
