Conversely, maxillofacial injuries in elderly people may result from alterations in consciousness as a result of a pre-existing medical condition. We investigated the nature of falls in an elderly population and compared two cohorts of patients-those presenting with maxillofacial injuries, and those with isolated upper limb injuries, and there were 25 patients in each cohort. Comprehensive personal data and medical history were recorded together with details of the fall. We found a significant correlation between the nature of the injury and recollection of the event (P |
