Orbital floor repair and three-point fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures to restore orbital morphological features and ocular functions: a retrospective observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite numerous investigations on how to manage zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures (ZMCFs), the best treatment option remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of three-point fixation with orbital floor reconstruction in restoring orbital morphology and managing post-traumatic ocular complications associated with ZMCFs, as well as to measure the postoperative reduction in orbital volume (OV).

Methods

A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted on patients with unilateral ZMCFs and orbital floor fractures with a completely intact contralateral orbit. The primary variable was the efficacy of three-point fixation of ZMCFs with orbital floor reconstruction in reducing enlarged OV and restoring ocular functions. The m
