Structure and operation of skeletal apparatus of authors own design for the repair of zygomatico-orbital fractures

Zygomatico-orbital fractures are a frequent sequel to trauma of the facial skeleton. The treatment of these fractures is various, depending on their clinical and radiological pictures. The authors describe these methods of positioning and immobilization of zygomatico-orbital fractures that have been used for years. In this context, the Jankowski’s frame and its subsequent modifications should be mentioned. The paper presents the project and operation patterns of a framework device being designed by authors and used in reposition and fixation of zygomatico-orbital fractures. This device was successfully used in the treatment of 70 patients.
