Single incision technique for two-point fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures
Abstract
The aim of this study is to discuss the Y modification of transconjunctival approach in the management of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. 10 patients with unilateral ZMC fractures were included in this study. All patients were treated by two-point fixation through single incision by the Y modification of transconjunctival approach. The average follow up period was 6 months. The adequacy of exposure, cosmetic outcomes, intraoperative, and postoperative complications were evaluated. The exposure was excellent in all patients with good cosmetic outcomes. None of the patient had any intraoperative complications; postoperatively, one patient had mild displacement of lateral canthus and other had mild hyperpigmentation of scar. The transconjunctival Y modification is a relatively new technique and provides excellent exposure and good esthetics. Yet, studies on large cohort needed to use this approach in the routine management of ZMC fractures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
