14 wrz 2023 · Learn about the anatomy, epidemiology, pathology, radiographic features and treatment of ZMC fractures, a common facial bone injury. ZMC fractures involve the zygomatic arch, inferior orbital rim, lateral orbital rim and maxillary sinus walls.
A zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture is a type of facial injury that involves four components: the lateral orbital wall, the maxilla-zygoma junction, the zygomatic arch, and the orbital floor. It is usually caused by a direct blow to the cheek and may require surgery to restore the normal appearance and function of the face.
Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture is one of the most commonly treated facial fractures. Accurate reduction and stable fixation of the zygoma are required to restore facial symmetry and projection and avoid functional sequalae from changes in orbital volume.
4 sie 2023 · The study compares three approaches to open reduction and fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures: subtarsal, transconjunctival and Y-modification. It evaluates exposure time, pain, edema, ocular complications, wound healing and scarring.
This review evaluates the outcomes of no fixation, one-point fixation, and multiple-point fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. It explores the effects of fixation on repositioning, stability, and complications, and the role of intraoperative CBCT.
15 lut 2021 · Learn about the biodynamics, clinical implications, and management of ZMC fractures, a complex skeletal unit formed by the zygoma and maxilla. The chapter covers the surgical anatomy, articulations, relations, and types of ZMC fractures, as well as the techniques and technologies for reduction and fixation.
Purpose of review: To provide an overview of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures and their treatment. Aspects of anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment objectives of these common fractures will be reviewed including recent literature.
