Bioinformation. 2023 Dec 31;19(13):1371-1376. doi: 10.6026/973206300191371. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTManagement of zygomatic complex fractures using closed reduction, two point open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF), closed reduction with three point ORIF and two point ORIF is of interest to dentist. 150 patients with zygomatic bone fractures between the ages of 14-60 years were included in the study. At final assessment, the percentage of stable condition was greater in closed reduction + two point ORIF and closed reduction + three point ORIF when compared to two point ORIF alone and three point ORIF alone and closed reduction alone. It was observed that stable condition was lowest in closed reduction alone. It was also observed that stable condition was lower in closed reduction + two point ORIF as compared to closed reduction + three point ORIF. It was also further noticed that stable condition was lower in two point ORIF alone as compared to three point ORIF alone. The treatment approach involving closed reduction and three point ORIF had better outcomes for management of zygomatic complex fractures.PMID:38415030 | PMC:PMC10895530 | DOI:10.6026/973206300191371
