Zygomatic fractures frequently impact the infraorbital nerve, leading to neuropathy in over 43% of moderate to severe cases. Prompt nerve decompression is recommended for recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Zygomatic fractures are common facial injuries.
  • Infraorbital nerve involvement can lead to significant patient morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the functional state of the infraorbital nerve in patients with zygomatic fractures.
  • To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of infraorbital nerve neuropathy.
  • To analyze treatment outcomes for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed infraorbital nerve function in 479 patients with zygomatic fractures.
  • Determined nerve damage severity via pain threshold changes.
  • Documented symptoms, signs, and treatment of developed neuropathies.

Main Results:

  • Infraorbital nerve was affected in 64.3% of zygomatic fractures.
  • Neuropathy developed in 43.18% of moderate and severe nerve damage cases.
  • Symptoms include persistent soreness and paresthesias in the infraorbital nerve zone.

Conclusions:

  • Moderate to severe infraorbital nerve damage often results in neuropathy.
  • Nerve decompression is crucial for functional recovery in moderate to severe cases.
  • Untreated nerve damage may lead to permanent functional deficits.
