The COVID-19 global pandemic has led to a major professional and social national reorganization: professional because it involves a redeployment of medical staff and material resources, and social because it imposes prolonged containment measures on an entire population. The maxillofacial trauma activity is mainly linked to sports or leisure accidents, fights and road accidents. It seems to appear since the beginning of containment measures a significant drop in maxillofacial trauma activity at the national level, which, if it is demonstrated in a significant way in several French hospital centers, would allow to redeploy the material and human resources related to this activity on sectors in tension due to the pandemic.
This study will compare maxillo-facial activity during the first month of COVID-19 containment measures in France with a comparable period in 2018 and 2019. This comparison will be made in 10 major French hospital centers.

evolution of number of maxillofacial trauma
evolution of number of maxillofacial trauma during COVID-19 first month of containment measures compared to the same period in 2018 and 2019.the number of patients from different investigator centers operated for a facial fracture occurring between March 16, 2020 and April 15, 2020 will be compared to the number of patients in these same centers operated for a facial fracture during the same period in 2018 and in 2019. A sub-group analysis, by center, will also be carried out.
