Return to contact sport post ORIF facial fractures

Aims: Contact sports, such as rugby, are responsible for many maxillofacial injuries. To our knowledge there are no guidelines in the medical literature on time to return to contact sports following surgical repair of facial fractures. We describe current practice amongst the oral and maxillofacial community in the UK. We formulate guidelines to inform the clinician on appropriate timing for return to contact sports post fixation of facial fractures.
