Purpose:
To investigate the clinical value of self-regulating exterior bracket for zygomatic fracture.
Methods:
Thirty patients with unilateral zygomatic fracture were treated using self-regulating exterior bracket. They all had limitation of mouth opening and facial collapse. 1.5 cm incision was made from the distal upper first molar. After reducting to normal mouth opening and symmetrical face, self-regulating external bracket was used to fix the fracture for 3 weeks.
Results:
After removing the self-regulating bracket, X-ray showed the fracture healing well. The patients had normal mouth opening.
Conclusion:
The clinical effect of using self-regulating bracket to fix fracture after reduction for unilateral zygomatic fracture is good, it is a simple surgical method.
