Abstract

The facial antral wall is composed of very thin compact lamellae. So, in the treatment of zygomatic bone fractures, simple mini plate application is sometimes difficult or inadequate for proper stability.The mini double plate developed by Paulus and Hardt has two plates on one side of its arm, and in the immobilization of zygomatic fractures, the facial wall of the maxillary sinus can be stabilized with it due to the surface stress and tensile effect of the plate arm on the osseous lamellae between the two plates.Recently, we introduced a mini double plate in two cases of zygomatic bone fractures and had a successful course.This is a report of our experience concerning the treatment.
