Minimal Incisions for Treating Zygomatic Complex Fractures
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective was to study the clinical application and effects of minimal incisions for treating zygomatic complex (ZMC) fractures. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on the 155 patients who underwent reduction of surgical injury by minimal incision for treating ZMC fractures. RESULTS: The outcomes after treatment were satisfactory functionally and aesthetically in most patients. The clinical results were good in 150 patients. No obvious scars were noticed in all the patients. After a follow-up of average 18 months, zygomatic asymmetry was present in 2 cases, numbness in the infraorbital area in 2 cases, and limitation of mouth opening in 1 patient. Plate removal was conducted in 3 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Repositioning of ZMC fractures via minimal incisions can get satisfactory results. With this kind of approach, the surgical injury can be reduced, and clear field of operation, convenient manipulation, less bleeding, high accuracy of reduction, and inconspicuous scar can be achieved as well. It is an ideal method and deserves to be recommended in clinical procedures.

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.
