A retrospective analysis of 101 zygomatico-orbital fractures.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2006 November
A 5-year review of 101 cases of zygomatico-orbital fractures is presented. The epidemiology, fracture patterns, treatment modalities, and complications were evaluated in this retrospective study. A majority of fractures were sustained by males and resulted from trauma inflicted during altercations and traffic accidents. The most common fracture pattern was tripod fracture and the most common associated facial fractures were mandibular fractures. Open reduction and rigid fixation was the most frequently employed treatment modality. Depending on the stability of reduced zygoma, one, two and three-point fixations were applied. Orbital floor exploration was performed in 41 cases. Ten out of 16 orbital floor bone defects required reconstruction. In these cases orbital floor was reconstructed with 1.5-mm porous polyethylene implant. Although we encountered a few complications related to the incisions for open reduction, the rate of complication in which correction was difficult (e.g. facial asymmetry) was lower with this approach when compared with the literature.
