A Study on Assessing the Etiology and Different Treatment Modalities of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Fracture of the zygomatic complex is amongst the most frequent in maxillofacial trauma, due to its prominence which predisposes it to bear the brunt of facial injuries, the pattern of which may vary geographically. Fracture pattern ranges from simple to comminuted and from minimally displaced to severely displaced depending on the impact of injuries sustained by various modes. Study aimed to assess the etiology and different treatment modalities depending on severity of displacement of zygomatic fracture. Material and methods: 46 patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture reporting during November 2012 to April 2014 were included in the study. On the basis of radiographic evaluation severity of displacement was assessed and different treatment modalities were selected. Results: Road traffic accident accounted as the leading cause of fracture (60.9%) followed by self-fall (28.3%), assault (6.5%). Open reduction and internal fixation was carried out in (73.9%), out of which 1-point fixation in (28.3%), 2-point fixation in (32.6%) and 3-point fixation in (13%). Conclusion: This study on assessment of etiology and various treatment modalities of zygomatic bone fracture showed that the majority of the patients were young adult men. Road traffic accident was the leading factor causing zygomatic bone fracture. Our study showed that displacement at any of the fractured site on the occipitomental radiograph can be used as a criteria for to assign patient to either open reduction and fixation group or conservative management group.
