Treatment of zygomatic fracturesis necessary to restore facial symmetry and function after trauma. These fractures often affect the orbit, nasal cavity, and midface, making precise reduction and fixation essential for optimal outcomes.
This procedure reduces pain, improves aesthetics, and restores normal occlusion and eye movement. By realigning the zygomatic bone, it enhances facial symmetry and function, improving the patient’s quality of life. Proper treatment also prevents long-term complications such as enophthalmos (sunken eye) or diplopia (double vision).
For oral and maxillofacial surgeons, accurate reduction and fixation are paramount. Surgeons must ensure that the zygomatic bone is properly aligned with adjacent structures, including the orbital rim and maxilla. Monitoring for signs of malunion or nerve damage is essential to prevent complications. Advanced imaging techniques, such as CT scans, may be used to guide the procedure and confirm proper alignment.
