چکیده
This study was undertaken to determine the anatomic distribution and different methods of treatment of midface fractures. Ninety-seven consecutive patients with midface fractures were treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, de,Montmorency College of Dentistry, Punjab Dental Hospital, Lahore during the year 2001-2002. A review of patients’ records and radiographs were conducted. Data regarding anatomic site and treatment modalities were reviewed. The zygomatic bone was the most commonly involved (64.71%), followed by maxilla (28.43%), nasal bone (3.92%) and nasoethmoidal fractures (2.94%). Le Fort I was the most common fracture. The maxillary fractures were mostly treated with suspension wiring (31 %) while in Zygomatic complex (ZC) fractures Gillies’ approach (37.9%) was the common method of management. The miniplates fixation was performed in 20.7% and 13.6% cases of maxillary and ZC fractures respectively.
