Zygomaticomaxillary Injury Re-Traversed: An Intricate Case Report
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract:Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are second commonest fractures in facial skeleton, with nasal fractures being the first. Common causes include altercations, motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) and sport injuries. This report highlights a case that presented with secondary blow to the malar region following MVA but without any fracture. The patient had suffered a similar injury with ZMC fracture, four years ago and was treated with open reduction and miniplate fixation. Hence the question arises, if the malar bone strengthened by the miniplate resisted the fracture or the force was insufficient to cause an impact. Considering the literature to be limited, further studies with this thought can open up a new plethora in the history of miniplates. Keywords: Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC), Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), miniplates, malar bone.
