Abstract

Objective: To evaluate and analyze the occurrence and treatment of zygomatic bone fractures in our population.

Material and Methods: Data of 50 patients with zygomatic bone fractures reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Bacha Khan Medical College Mardan, from May 2013 to October 2015 were reviewed. History, clinical examination and radiographic studies were carried out for diagnosis. Data regarding the age, gender, etiology, side involved, associated facial fractures and treatment modalities were evaluated and analyzed.

Results: The most common age group involved was 3rd decade. Male outnumbered female. Road traffic accidents (72%) was the leading cause and left side (56%) was more involved. Maxillary fracture (22%) occurred more than mandible as associated facial fractures. Closed and open reductions were the common modalities of treatment with no significant complications.

Conclusions: This study showed that zygomatic bone fractures occurred more in young males. Male RTA was the leading cause and left side of the patient was more affected. Maxilla was commonly fractured with zygomatic bone. Closed and open reductions were used for treatment with no significant complications.
