Abstract
The authors analyse the results of 1.393 cases of malar fractures treated in the maxillo-facial Departments of Montpellier and Perpignan. A clinical and therapeutic classification is given. Study of the sequelae demonstrated that the most frequent were infra-orbital nerve lesions, residual displacement of the malar bone, diplopia, and enophthalmos. A point is made about the use of Franchebois's inflatable balloon as a means of retention. Its indications as well as its contra-indications are clearly defined. The reduction in the number of bone sequelae, when compared to cases treated without the balloon, demonstrates the efficacy and simplicity of this method.
