Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To outline the profile of patients with facial trauma, victims of motorcycle accidents, treated at the Hospital da Restauração, Recife/PE, Brazil, from December 2020 to July 2021.
METHODS: The collection was carried out through questionnaire and analysis of medical records. Data were analyzed descriptively, as well as Pearson\'s chi-square test or Fisher\'s exact test.
RESULTS: Among the patients, 88.6% were male, 47.5% were between 18 and 29 years old, and 59.6% lived in rural areas; 72.15% of the victims used the motorcycle for work and 43.52% were working at the time of the accident. Most victims did not have a national motorcycle license (62%) and were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident (60%), with 37.6% wearing a full-face helmet, 16.5% an open helmet, and 5.9% an articulated full-face helmet. Soft tissue injuries were the most prevalent. Zygomatic complex fractures were the most common facial fractures and were significantly associated with helmet use and type.
CONCLUSIONS: Most victims of motorcycle accidents are young adult men, without a regular driver\'s license and residing in rural areas. Preventive and educational actions and continuous traffic inspections are necessary to minimize these accidents.

摘要：
目的：概述面部创伤患者的概况，摩托车事故的受害者，在餐厅医院接受治疗，累西腓/PE，巴西,从2020年12月到2021年7月。
方法：通过问卷调查和病历分析进行收集。数据进行了描述性分析，以及皮尔逊卡方检验或费舍尔精确检验。
结果：在患者中，88.6%为男性,47.5%的人年龄在18至29岁之间，59.6%生活在农村地区；事故发生时，72.15%的受害者使用摩托车工作，43.52%的受害者工作。大多数受害者没有国家摩托车执照(62%),事故发生时也没有戴头盔(60%),37.6%的人戴全脸头盔，16.5%的开放式头盔，5.9%的人是铰接式全脸头盔。软组织损伤是最普遍的。颌骨复合体骨折是最常见的面部骨折，与头盔的使用和类型显着相关。
结论：大多数摩托车事故的受害者是年轻的成年男子，没有正规驾驶执照，居住在农村地区。预防和教育行动以及持续的交通检查对于最大程度地减少这些事故是必要的。
