Presentation
Abstract In 1 week two patients with depressed fractures of the malar/orbital/zygomatic complex presented with roentgen evidence of fractures of the underlying coronoid process caused by the transmitted impact of the malar/orbital/zygomatic fragment without [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Trismus
Presentation Arch fractures may result in trismus, flattening of the midface, asymmetry of the malar regions, or a reduction in oral aperture. [oralmaxillo-facialsurgery.blogspot.com]
Additionally, the fracture components may result in impingement of the temporalis muscle, trismus (difficulty with mastication) and may compromise the infraorbital foramen / nerve resulting in hypoaesthesia within its sensory distribution. [radiopaedia.org]
Severe displacement may cause direct impingement on the coronoid process, however, and trismus is more pronounced leading to interincisor distance of 1cm. [medicine.uiowa.edu]
Facial bruising, periorbital ecchymosis, soft tissue gas, swelling, trismus, altered mastication, diplopia, and ophthalmoplegia are other indirect features of the injury. [1] The zygomatic arch usually fractures at its weakest point, 1.5 cm behind the [en.wikipedia.org]

Decrease in Height
We found that postoperative complication like decreased malar height and vertical dystopia was more common in those patients who were treated by two point fixation than those who were treated with three point fixation. [trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Diplopia
Diplopia fails to resolve after 2-3 weeks. Complications Globe injury. Persistent diplopia requiring delayed surgery. Optic nerve damage. Medial orbital wall fracture Features These are rare in isolation but may accompany orbital floor fractures. [patient.info]
Symptoms Unilateral periocular haematoma Subconjunctival haemorrhage Swelling Flattened face (sometimes) Palpation Infraorbital fracture steps Lateral orbital border Zygomatic buttress Function tests V2 sensitivity Facialis function Ocular motility Diplopia [med-college.hu]
Diplopia. Diplopia is the name given to the symptom of blurred vision. Two varieties of diplopia exist; it is important to distinguish between them. [pocketdentistry.com]
The first type is chiefly characterized by the involvement of the orbit, and often there is some ocular dysfunction such as diplopia, dystopia or enophthalmos. [rbcp.org.br]

Enophthalmos
There has been no case of chewing problems, cheek numbness or progressive enophthalmos developing postoperatively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Enophthalmos (the eye is sunken). Infraorbital anaesthesia (lower lid, cheek, side of nose, upper lip, upper teeth and gums). [patient.info]
The first type is chiefly characterized by the involvement of the orbit, and often there is some ocular dysfunction such as diplopia, dystopia or enophthalmos. [rbcp.org.br]

Facial Edema
Second, if surgery must be performed while excessive facial edema is present, surgical exposure to determine the position of the ZMC is helpful. [pocketdentistry.com]
CASE REPORT A 21-yr-old man presented at our department with the chief complaint of right facial edema and deformity that occurred after a blow to the facial area. [e-ceo.org]
Majority of the patients in this study had middle-energy fractures which are similar to those reported by other authors.[ 8, 9 ] Facial edema and peri-orbital swelling may hamper clinical examination and immediate surgical procedure among these patients [parjournal.net]

Facial Pain
For example, nerve diseases like trigeminal neuralgia or Bell's palsy sometimes cause facial pain, spasms and trouble with eye or facial movement. Birth defects can also affect the face. [icdlist.com]

In all probability many instruments and methods were devised and used for surgical treatment without being recorded. [jamanetwork.com]
Abstract A review of classifications of zygomatic fractures demonstrates an increasing complexity in the choice of proper treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In these cases, treatment consists of repositioning the zygoma and reconstructing the orbit when necessary. [rbcp.org.br]

Gillie's approach is used for depressed zygomatic fractures. [4] The prognosis of tripod fractures is generally good. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis Good prognosis is suggested by: Union of bones. Lack of any deformity. Full range of mandibular movement. [patient.info]
Prognosis is usually good. Jaw (mandibular) fracture: Prognosis is usually good. Midface (maxillary) fracture People with midface fractures have a poorer prognosis because of other injuries suffered from the accident that caused their fracture. [emedicinehealth.com]
[…] requires surgical intervention. [7] Age Most cases of zygomatic complex fractures occur in young patients in their second to third decades of life, with the exception of fractures due to accidental falls, which are mainly seen in older patients. [7, 8] Prognosis [emedicine.medscape.com]

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this paper is to investigate epidemiological data (age, gender), sites, etiology and surgical approach of zygomatic fracture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
the incidence and etiology varies from country to country. [pubs.sciepub.com]
Results: Most of the patients were male (90.0%), the most frequent etiology was a motorcycle accident (70.0%) and the left side was more affected (60.0%). [jstcr.org]
Etiology Zygoma fractures usually result from high-impact trauma. Leading causes of fractures include assault, motor vehicle or motorcycle accidents, sports injuries, and falls. [oralmaxillo-facialsurgery.blogspot.com]

Posteriorly the zygoma articulates with the sphenoid bone Pathophysiology: The zygomatic bone acts as an important buttress between the maxilla and skull. Its prominent location makes it prone to fracture during injuries to facial skeleton. [drtbalu.co.in]
Associated with these technical and surgical advances, is the in-depth understanding of pathophysiology of fractures. [dmrjournal.org]
Prevention
Early evaluation and timely intervention can avoid unnecessary treatments and prevent postoperative complications. [e-ceo.org]
In isolated posterior fractures, the infraorbital nerve may block the surgical field, preventing visualization of the fracture site. [docksci.com]
