ABSTRACT

A cross-sectional and observational descriptive study of 137 patients with facial traumatic lesions of the soft tissue due to cycle accident, assisted in the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of "Saturnino Lora Torres" Provincial Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from 2008 to December, 2009, aimed at characterizing them according to variables of interest for the investigation. In the series, adults younger than 45 years and of male sex, the falls as the modality causing lesions of the soft tissue prevailed, as well as the imprudence and the alcohol ingestion of drivers as the main causes of accidents, particularly during the months of August and July, in that order.
