The biomechanics of maxillofacial trauma

A M Nahum. Clin Plast Surg. 1975 Jan.

Abstract

In order to prevent more severe injuries, it may be necessary to accept minor soft tissue trauma and nasal fractures, but it should be possible to prevent almost all other facial trauma at reasonable impact speeds.
