High impact information on Zygomatic Fractures

The authors retrospectively analyzed seven clinical cases of tripod zygomatic fractures that were imaged with both axial and coronal CT scan orientations [1].
Treatment outcome and complication rates were compared with a historic patient group with zygomatic fractures fixed with titanium osteosynthesis (control group D: n = 15) [2].
We concluded that closed reduction of simple zygomatic fractures can be performed if the fracture site is held in place with a stabilizing material such as a hydroxyapatite cement paste [3].
In a previous article in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the initial results of treating 10 patients with solitary, unstable, displaced zygomatic fractures using resorbable poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) plates and screws was reported (Bos et al, 1987) [4].

Chemical compound and disease context of Zygomatic Fractures

Ten patients with unstable zygomatic fractures were treated with resorbable poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) plates and screws [5].
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of zygomatic fracture fixation using 3 biodegradable systems and a titanium osteosynthesis system [2].
