Zygomaticomaxillary complex and isolated orbital walls fractures are one of the most common fractures of the midface, often presenting orbital symptoms and complications. Our study was born with the aim of understanding the trend in the incidence of...

Despite the high frequency of the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures, there is no consensus among facial reconstructive surgeons regarding the best surgical management; thus, surgical choice for ZMC fractures is still challenging. This study...

Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Objective: Neurosensory disturbances (NSDs) of the infraorbital nerve (ION) are common following orbito-zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lag time between in...

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objective: Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are common facial injuries with heterogeneity regarding aetiologies, fracture types, infraorbital nerve (ION) involvement, and treatment methods. The aim of thi...

Study Design: Retrospective with follow-up. Objective: To evaluate the long-term satisfaction of surgically treated patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures in relation to the use of internal fixation, number of fixation points, and...

Study Design: Case-control. Objective: Although zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are among the most common facial injuries, the optimal approach to management remains controversial. This study analyzes the relationship between displacement...

Despite the prevalence of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures, there is no consensus regarding the best approach to management. The aim of this study is to determine differences in ZMC fracture treatment among various surgical specialties. A...

Purpose: Exposing the orbital floor requires a surgical procedure that has its own challenges. Despite the meticulous clinical examination followed by sophisticated imaging modalities, orbital floor defects associated with zygomaticomaxillary complex...

Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are among the most common midfacial injuries, with significant implications for both function and facial esthetics. Optimal management requires restoring the normal anatomical alignment and symmetry of the...

Study Design: A prospective randomized comparative study was conducted to evaluate the postsurgical scar with Supraorbital Eyebrow (SE) Approach and Upper Blepharoplasty (UB) Approach used for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of zygomatico...

Study Design: Very few studies exist regarding the fracture pattern variability of the zygomaticoorbital (ZMO) complex. The retrospective evaluation of a large series of surgically treated unilateral ZMO fractures would in certain circumstances help...

Study Design: Retrospective with follow-up. Objective: This study described the long-term outcomes of patients who received either conservative or surgical treatment for zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. It accounted for the perspectives o...

Materials and Methods: A 6-year retrospective analysis of 111 patients treated for maxillofacial fractures in Davangere, Karnataka from January 2004 to December 2009 was performed. Variables like age, gender, occupation, type of fracture andmechanism...

Purpose: Concomitant ophthalmic injuries are common in patients with facial fractures, though frequency varies widely in the literature. Major ophthalmic injuries can have drastic consequences for patients, and permanent visual impairment cannot be p...

Background/Objectives: Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are the second most common of all facial bone fractures, and conventional treatment represents a challenge even for experienced surgeons. The aim of this systematic review and meta-an...

This study developed a zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) patient-specific repairing thin (PSRT) implant based on the buttress theory by integrating topology optimization and finite element (FE) analysis. An intact facial skeletal (IFS) model was cons...

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objective: To evaluate patient demographics, surgical management, and complications of orbital and orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex (OZMC) fractures treated at a district hospital in Norway. Methods: The medical re...

Orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex (OZMC) fractures are commonly encountered by the craniomaxillofacial trauma surgeon and may, in fact, be the most common type of orbital fracture. Disruption of articulation with the frontal and sphenoid bones causes...

Superior orbital fissure syndrome is an infrequently encountered entity with a unique presentation and significant morbidity. This article reviews the background of the syndrome, treatments in the literature, and discusses a recent case with treatmen...

The aim of this study was to analyze the use of C-arm and its significance in accurate reduction of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. Orbital volume is used as parameter to compared pre- and postoperative volumes of injured orbit. Differen...

Extraocular muscle (EOM) entrapment with resulting reduction in motility and diplopia is a known complication of orbital fractures. Less commonly, transection of the EOMs due to trauma, iatrogenic injury, or intentional myotomy may lead to persistent...

Reduction of a fracture may be relatively easy with a simple, noncomminuted fracture along the zygomaticofrontal suture, zygomaticomaxillary buttress, or the inferior rim of the orbit. When one or more of these key landmarks is comminuted, it becomes...

Study Design: A single blind randomized controlled study. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of ultrasonography intraoperatively to assess the reduction of unilateral zygomatic complex fractures with a control group using the con...

Obtaining postoperative images of maxillofacial fractures does not affect the clinical management of asymptomatic patients; however, few studies have evaluated the role of postoperative imaging in the context of orbital floor fractures. In this study...

The aim of the retrospective analysis of the medical documentation of 101 patients was to assess the incidence, etiology, and type of craniofacial fractures in the elderly population of southern Poland, who required specialist treatment at the Depart...

Background: Midfacial fractures are common outcomes of facial trauma. While younger individuals typically sustain these injuries through high-energy events like assaults and traffic or sports accidents, elderly patients increasingly present with frac...

Background/Objectives: Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has been increasingly used as a nonsurgical alternative for maxillary expansion in adults. However, reports of complications remain limited. This case describes a rare instance...

Background/Objectives: Orbital fractures are a very serious problem due to the close location of the eyeball and a direct path to brain injuries, which is associated with serious consequences. This study aims to assess the usefulness of the Orbital D...

We introduce a novel computer-based method to digitally fixate midfacial fractures to facilitate more efficient intraoperative fixation. This article aims to describe a novel computer-based algorithm that can be utilized to model midface fracture red...

Mechanical falls are a common cause of facial trauma in the elderly population. It has been shown that the likelihood of sustaining a facial fracture due to a fall or activities of daily life significantly increases with age. Craniomaxillofacial frac...

Background: Zygomatico-maxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are prevalent facial injuries with significant functional and aesthetic implications. Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) offers precise surgical planning and outcome evaluation. The study aimed to...
