Zygomatic fracture characteristics and their association with brain injury: Evidences from a 10-year retrospective study in northern Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Few studies have systematically examined the relationship between zygomatic fracture patterns or patient demographics and head injury. This study investigates the epidemiology of zygomatic fractures, their association with brain injury, and the influence of patient age, focusing on fracture classification and injury mechanisms.

Materials and methods

A retrospective analysis of 272 patients with zygomatic fractures treated between 2012 and 2021 at a medical center in northern Taiwan was conducted. Fractures were classified using the Zingg system. Clinical data including age, injury etiology, concomitant injuries, and brain injury were analyzed. Statistical methods included chi-square tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression.
