A bstract — Records for 1959–1969 from a children's hospital show that falls, play and motor vehicles are equally and mainly responsible for facial fractures in children up to 14 years of age. Methods of treatment and the effect of pre‐existing medical disorders on treatment are given and the necessity for complete history and examination at the time of admission is emphasized.
