Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Trauma Surgery
Plastic Surgery

Background:

Zygomatic complex fractures are common facial injuries.
Effective treatment is crucial for restoring facial aesthetics and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the procedure and effectiveness of sequential reduction and fixation for zygomatic complex fractures.

Main Methods:

32 patients with zygomatic complex fractures underwent sequential reduction and fixation.
Fracture reduction followed a specific horizontal then longitudinal sequence.
Surgical approaches included coronal scalp, lower eyelid, and intraoral incisions.

Main Results:

All incisions healed primarily without infection or fistula.
Satisfactory aesthetic and functional results were achieved in all patients.
Radiographic evidence of bony healing was observed by 6 months post-operation.

Conclusions:

Sequential reduction and fixation aligns with the biomechanical principles of complex zygomatic fractures.
This technique facilitates anatomical bone segment reduction and facial symmetry restoration.
