Abstract:
This article presents a general historical review of zygomatico-orbital (ZO) fractures with application of contemporary surgical procedures. Two surgical cases are presented, in which the ZO fractures were approached via a transconjunctival incision with a lateral canthotomy. A two-point rigid internal fixation, combined with a porous high-density polyethylene orbital floor reconstruction, produced uniformly excellent cosmetic and functional results in a total of 42 patients with ZO fractures who were treated over a 2-year period.
