Three-point fixation of displaced tripod zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture: a modified surgical technique
Displaced tripod zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are generally treated with open reduction and 3-point rigid internal fixation at the frontozygomatic suture, zygomaticomaxillary buttress, and inferior orbital rim. However, a clinical dilemma still exists in the postoperative morbidities such as ectropion of the lower eyelid and palpability of the Ti-plate at the inferior orbital rim...

متن کاملSurgical Methods of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture
BACKGROUND Zygoma is a major buttress of the midfacial skeleton, which is frequently injured because of its prominent location. Zygoma fractures are classified according to Knight and North based on the direction of anatomic displacement and the pattern created by the fracture. In zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture many incisions (lateral eyebrow, lateral upper blepharoplasty, transconj...
