Introduction:
The Armed Forces personnel are exposed to various kinds of injuries due to the nature of their duties. Increase in motorized population without taking protective measures and rise in violence has contributed towards maxillofacial injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, aetiology and management of injuries resulting in fracture of the Zygomatic complex in Armed Forces personnel and their families.
Methods:
This study was conducted at Command Military Dental Centre (EC). Out of 90 maxillofacial injuries, 40 individuals (44.4%) were treated for Zygomatic complex fractures, majority were in their third decade of life and RTA was the leading cause.
Result:
Thirty seven individuals (92.5%) recovered uneventfully, while three (7.5%) patients had post operative complications such as enophthalmos, paraesthesia, diplopia, facial asymmetry, palpability of implants and facial nerve paresis. These complications were subsequently treated successfully.
Conclusion:
The midface is composed of fragile bones which get fractured easily. It is imperative to educate people regarding the use of protective headgears/seat belts while travelling in motorized transport.

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...
