Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Muscles for Facial Expressions01:14

Muscles for Facial Expressions

The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Zygomatic bone fractures commonly result in reduced zygomatic projection and enophthalmos.
  • Corrective zygomatic osteotomy can be challenging due to altered anatomical landmarks.
  • Onlay bone grafts or alloplastic materials are frequently used for correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of zygomatic osteotomy for correcting zygomatic bone fracture sequelae.
  • To compare zygomatic osteotomy with traditional grafting techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Zygomatic osteotomies performed via superior palpebral, sub-ciliary, or upper vestibular approaches.
  • Repositioning achieved with osteosynthesis micro-plates for three-dimensional reconstruction.
  • Often combined with orbital floor bone grafting.

Main Results:

  • Zygomatic osteotomy allows for adequate three-dimensional reconstruction of zygomatic projection.
  • The procedure is simple and reproducible with good bone exposure.
  • Satisfactory aesthetic results and uneventful outcomes are achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Zygomatic osteotomy presents a viable alternative to isolated grafting methods.
  • It offers superior, long-lasting aesthetic results compared to autologous or alloplastic grafts, which are prone to resorption.
  • The technique is recommended for managing zygomatic bone fracture deformities.
