Abstract
Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture as an Orbital Wall Fracture
Highlights
Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture is considered as a type of orbital wall fractures because the lateral orbital wall and orbital floor are important walls that could be affected by such fractures
ZMC fractures could be treated by observation, closed reduction without fixation or open reduction and rigid internal fixation (OR/IF) at 1 or more ZMC buttresses
Transconjunctival approach for repair of the inferior orbital rim and orbital floor as part of OR/IF of ZMC fractures consume more operative time and mostly needs lateral canthotomy for proper fracture exposure and repair that not needed with subciliary approach
Summary
Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture is common [1,2,3,4,5], involved in approximately 42% of facial fractures and represents more than 60% of all middle third fractures [2].
