Objective: The aim of the study is to know the etiology, frequent age-group, male/female ratio, different approaches for reduction and associated symptoms of zygomatic bone fracture.
Material and Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Khybar College of Dentistry, Peshawar from 2004 to 2007. A total of 122 male and female patients were selected with 101(82.79%)male and 21(17.21%)female patients.The age selected was >10 years with mean age 40 years. The data collected were analysed through SPSS 22.
Results: Male petients were 101(82.79%) while female were 21(17.21%). The most frequent age-group was 20-29 years.The most common cause of zygoma fracture was road traffic accidents (n=66 :54.09%) followed by inter personal violence (n=26: 21.31%), fall (n=17:13.93%), sports(n=09 :07.37%) and industrial(n=04:03.27%). Most of the reduction of zygoma was done by Keen approach (n=50 :40.98%). Paresthesia/anesthesia of infra-orbital region was the most common symptom associated with zygoma fracture (n=65: 53.27%) followed by restricted mandibular movements (n=58: 47.54%), and diplopia(n=25: 20.49%).
Conclusions: The study revealed that the male patients aged 20-29 years more often sustained zygomatic bone fracture. Road traffic accident is the predominant cause, paresthesia, is the most common associated symptom and intra-oral approach is the leading approach for reduction of zygoma fracture.
