BACKGROUND Fracture of the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) is one of the most common facial injuries. A previous study has performed 3D analyses of the parallel and rotational displacements that occur in a fractured ZMC. However, few studies have investigated adequate fixation methods according to these displacements. Here, we assessed whether specific approaches and fixation methods for disp...

Introduction: The incidence of maxillofacial fractures varies widely between different countries. The large variability in reported incidence and etiology is due to a variety of contributing factors, including environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. Aim: This study aimed to asses retrospectively the incidence and prevalence of maxillofacial injuries in patients reported in Governmen...

Aim: The Zygomatic complex [ZMC], being one of the most commonly fractured bones in facial skeleton, is largely underreported literature. This study was designed to evaluate pattern fractures, symptomatology, and treatment modalities at our institution. Materials methods: Information on patients’ sociodemographics, radiologic diagnosis, were accessed from records trauma register. Data collected...

OBJECTIVES The facial bones are the most noticeable area in the human body, and facial injuries can cause significant functional, aesthetic, and psychological complications. Continuous study of the patterns of facial bone fractures and changes in trends is helpful in the prevention and treatment of maxillofacial fractures. The purpose of the current clinico-statistical study is to investigate t...

Facial fractures, specifically orbitozygomatic and zygomaticomaxillary complex are well-documented common injuries. Pseudoaneurysm formation following cerebrovascular blunt trauma is a rarely experienced complication with an incidence rate of less than 1% only few cases reported in the literature. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm sphenopalatine artery (SPA), deepest branch maxillary artery, extremely r...

The zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture is unique and difficult to treat fracture, mostly because of its pentapod anatomic form which may necessitate a patient-specific treatment approach. This retrospective study aims at evaluating the changing trends in ZMC fractures. A total 245 cases were included this study, treated either surgically or conservatively, for fractures time period 3 years (2...

i ntroduction: the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial fractures vary widely between different countries. understanding the cause and pattern of these injuries can assist in establishing clinical and research priorities for more effective treatment and prevention of maxillofacial injuries. the study aimed to  evaluate  the  etiology  and  pattern  of  maxillofacial  fractures  in  trauma pa...
