Precise repair of orbital maxillary zygomatic fractures.
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the techniques, advantages, indications, and potential pitfalls of the transconjunctival approach with lateral canthotomy, sublabial approach, and coronal approach in the treatment of complex trimalar fracture with associated blow-out fractures.
DESIGN: All patients diagnosed as having complex trimalar fractures with or without blow-out treated by either of us over a 2-year period were included. Follow-up ranged from a minimum of 6 months to 2 years.
SETTING: All patients were treated with December 1989 to December 1991 at either Louisiana State University Medical Center, Shreveport, or University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City.
PATIENTS: Eighteen patients with complex trimalar fractures were included in this study. Eight patients had associated orbital blow-out fractures. Simple isolated arch fractures were excluded.
INTERVENTION: All subjects underwent a transconjunctival approach with lateral canthotomy. Seven subjects also had associated sublabial flaps. Five patients required hemicoronal or coronal approaches.
RESULTS: There were seven minor complications. Ninety-three percent (14/15 [three didn't respond to the survey]) of patients surveyed were either very satisfied or satisfied with their functional and cosmetic results.
CONCLUSION: The management of complex trimalar fracture with blow-outs is greatly facilitated by the rational application of the described techniques.
