Abstract
This review summarises all trauma and related papers published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS) from January 2010 to December 2011. In total 45 articles were published,
of which 42% (19) were full-length articles. These articles primarily focused on the
management of mandibular condyle and orbital fractures, with several papers discussing
maxillofacial surgery by the British military. There were no articles discussing midfacial
fractures or massive facial trauma. The remaining papers included short communications,
technical notes, and letters; and provided discussion of interesting cases, new surgical
techniques and fracture classifications.
The number of trauma papers published in BJOMS appears to be less than other sub-specialties
such as head and neck oncology. The number of prospective and randomised studies remains
low, highlighting a need to foster further research within maxillofacial trauma.
