Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim is specific, empirical, and testable. Multiple epidemiological studies and reviews (Choi et al.,hmad et al., Galia et al., and the Maharashtra dental institute study) consistently report that nasal, zygomaticomaxillary (cheekbone), and mandibular (jaw) fractures represent the overwhelming majority of facial injuries. Therefore, the evidence strongly supports the claim.
