Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures, often resulting from facial trauma, require accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. This review details diagnostic methods, surgical approaches, fixation techniques, and complication management for ZMC injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) is crucial for facial structure and function.
  • Its prominent shape makes the ZMC highly susceptible to injury from facial trauma.
  • Fractures can range from single buttress involvement to complex tetrapod fractures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures.
  • To discuss diagnostic modalities and surgical management strategies.
  • To address potential complications and their treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical diagnosis, emphasizing head and neck examination and ophthalmologic consultation.
  • Highlighting computed tomography (CT) as the gold standard for diagnosis and surgical planning.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of various surgical approaches (hemicoronal, transconjunctival, subciliary, sublabial).

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed explanation of fixation techniques, including one-, two-, or three-point fixation.
    • Comparison of plate versus wire fixation methods.
    • Exploration of the diagnosis and management of common complications like diplopia and ectropion.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention are key to managing ZMC fractures.
    • A thorough understanding of surgical approaches and fixation methods is essential for optimal outcomes.
    • Effective management of complications is critical for restoring function and aesthetics.
