Abstrakt: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the degree of fracture reduction after open reduction and internal fixation of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex (ZMC) fractures in the Saudi population of the Al-Baha region, using Gillies approach. Further comparison with preoperative and postoperative standardized computed tomography (CT) views with the calculation of residual deformity percentage, which remained after the ZMC rehabilitation.
Methods: A 5-year retrospective CT-based study on preoperative and postoperative axial CT scans of 46 male patients with ZMC fractures. The CT measurements were made (in millimeters) at the fracture site of maximum displacement through the anterior orbital rim and orbital floor, posterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus, zygomatic arch, and zygomaticofrontal suture. For the zygomatic arch, measurements were made (in mm) by drawing a tangent to the fractured arch segments and dropping a perpendicular to the inward displaced fractured arch. The total difference in all measured parts between preoperative and postoperative displacement was calculated in percentages.
Results: Upon comparison of preoperative and postoperative zygomaticomaxillary complex CTs, three-point fixation at the regions of infraorbital rim, frontozygomatic suture, and posterolateral wall of the maxilla results in a reduction of the fracture sites in the range of 72.85% to 85%. Maximum reduction was noted at the zygomatic arch, that is, 85%, and minimum at the infraorbital rim, that is, 72.85%. The reduction obtained at all four sites was statistically significant, with P values ranging from .011 to .039.
Conclusion: Gillies temporal approach and three-point fixation at the regions of the infraorbital rim, frontozygomatic suture, and posterolateral wall of the maxilla results in satisfactory treatment of ZMC fractures and improves patients oral health and quality of life.
