Abstract

Sport is a common cause of facial injuries. Depends on geographical distribution, 10% to 32% of all facial trauma cases are accounted to sporting activities according to the literature. In the following review article, sports-related facial injuries are classified based on their localization and on the principle of their treatment. Sports-specific mechanism underlying common injuries and state of the art concepts of diagnostics and surgical management, as currently practiced, are presented.
