The application of coronal incision in the surgical treatment of zygomatic complex fracture / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the indications, surgical technique and complications of the coronal approach in the treatment of zygomatic complex fractures.Methods:Eighty-four patients with zygomatic complex fracture underwent coronal incisions for surgery. Micro or mini titanium bone plates were used to stabilize the fractured bones.In patients with endophthalmos orbital wall fractures were treated with hydroxyapatite.Follow-up was conducted for 3 months to 2 years.Results:All patients had no wound infection after operation. There was no permanent facial nerve motor function deficit. All of the patients with malocclusion regained their functional occlusion after treatment. The patients with restriction of mouth opening recovered after training. Eight patients had observable asymmetry characterized by widening of the face on the side of the injury. One patient sustained the postoperative endophthalmos beyond 3 mm.Conclusion:Coronal approach is feasible in the surgical treatment of zogomatic complex fracture.
