Early return to sport post maxillofacial fracture injury in the professional athlete: A systematic review
2019, Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The literature also indicated that a sport's probability to occasion an impact collision upon a healing maxillofacial fracture could be graded, as this can influence return to sport times. Non-contact sports (such as running or swimming) often formed part of early rehabilitation exercises (Fowell and Earl, 2013; Tanaka et al., 1996; Walsh and Cooper, 2008; Koloskie and Orr, 1992) and would likely also entail an earlier return to sport. The term ‘combat’ was used to describe sports that involved direct high energy martial forces to the maxillofacial skeleton (such as boxing), and studies assigned protracted recovery periods (Roccia et al., 2008; Patel et al., 2017).
