Summary
The issues of diagnosis, planning, timing and tactics of surgical treatment, possible risks of postoperative complications in patients with trauma of the middle zone of the facial skeleton have remained relevant for many years. Due to the prevalence and complexity of solving a number of problems facing specialists arising from post-traumatic deformities (PTD) in this area, the problem of treating this category of patients is not only medical, but also socio-economic.
Purpose. To carry out a retrospective analysis of the data of medical documentation of adult patients with trauma and PTD of the middle zone of the facial skeleton.
Material and methods. We analyzed statistical data on the provision of specialized medical care to patients with trauma and PTD of the middle zone of the facial skeleton in institutions subordinate to the Moscow Department of Health for 2021 and 2022. A sample of 32 495 medical records of patients who were hospitalized at the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution of the Department of Healthcare of the Moscow “Maxillofacial Hospital for War Veterans” was conducted from March 2015 to December 2023. Statistical processing of the obtained data from the study group of patients was carried out.
Results. Information is presented on the specialized care provided to adult patients with trauma and PTD of the middle zone of the facial skeleton in institutions subordinate to the Moscow Department of Health for 2021 and 2022. Our study included 233 patients with trauma and PTD of the midfacial skeleton who underwent surgical treatment. Of these, 84.12% (n=196) were men and 15.88% (n=37) women. The average age of the patients was 35.74±11.11 years. The study group was divided into two subgroups: the 1st – patients with injuries to the bones of the midface (n=157, 67.38%), the 2nd – with PTD of the bones of the midface (n=76, 32.62%). The article presents the main characteristics of these patients. The methods of their examination at the prehospital stage are analyzed in detail; the time from the moment of injury to the moment of seeking specialized medical care; channels of hospitalization; causes of injuries; aesthetic and functional disorders as a result of injuries; types of injuries; applied methods and tactics of surgical treatment.
Conclusions. The results of the study present a modern characterization of adult patients with trauma and PD of the middle zone of the facial skeleton. Recommendations are given on the use of four main fixation points during operations of metallosteosynthesis of the bones of the zygomatic complex, the need to reduce the time from the moment of injury to the moment of specialized medical care, the need for an integrated approach and treatment of patients with injuries and PTD of the bones of the middle zone of the face in specialized centers of maxillofacial-facial surgery.

Keywords: trauma, deformations of the middle zone of the facial skeleton, fracture of the zygomatic complex, orbital floor fracture, fracture of the bones of the nose, fracture of the zygomatic arch.
