Indigenous people are more likely to experience facial fractures from assault resulting in mandibular fractures, whereas non-indigenous people are likely to have sport or fall-related midface fractures. Young indigenous women from outer regional and very remote areas have greater odds of facial fractures caused by assault and alcohol with higher operative rates, postoperative complications, and extended length of stay.
