“…In the present study, the average incidence of orbital floor exploration was 20%. This is less than the 58% reported by Chuong and Kaban 11 in 1986 and closer to the figure of 29% recently reported by Vriens et al 12 …”

“…The infraorbital incision was used because it gives good access to and a good view of the fracture line and [3,21]. Other authors [1,8,10,12,24,31,35,41,45] are more likely to use an open reduction with osteosynthesis if the zygomatic complex is fractured or displaced, and prefer to use a closed reduction procedure only for simple arch fractures.…”

The Gillies procedure in the treatment of zygomatic fractures and dislocations

et al. 1996

This retrospective study demonstrates the late results of 46 patients with an isolated zygomatic fracture and/or dislocation, who have been treated with the Gillies procedure alone or with stabilizing transosseous wires. The post-reduction stable fractures (78%) treated solely with the Gillies procedure have given satisfactory symmetric results in 72% of the patients. The stabilized zygomatic complexes (22%) could, due to the pull of the m. masseter, still rotate around the axis of stabilization and this causes asymmetry in 60% of the cases. Unstable fractures and dislocations, however, need an open reduction and an adequate stabilization with miniplates at the frontozygomatic suture and infraorbital rim. The amount of dislocation on X-ray will not predict the peroperative instability and the late asymmetry of the treated zygoma fracture.

“…Etiology, type and site of these injuries differ depending on various factors. Worldwide, traffic accidents, assaults, falls, sports-related injuries, and civilian warfare are the main causes (9). The incidence and causes of maxillofacial injuries have been widely studied (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

“…The incidence and causes of maxillofacial injuries have been widely studied (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Worldwide, traffic accidents, assaults, falls, sports-related injuries, and civilian warfare are the main causes (9). The large variability in reported prevalence (12) is due to the patient's environment, gender, age, socioeconomic status, as well as the mechanism of injury (10,11).…”

An evaluation of dental and maxillofacial trauma in a level 1 trauma center in Israel was carried out to assess the causes of trauma and the relationship between the injuries to the patient's age, gender and ethnicity. Analysis was based on data from the Israel Trauma Registry. Patients hospitalized in a level 1 trauma center from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2005 were analyzed according to age, gender, time, place, ethnicity and cause of injury. Files of 22 558 trauma patients were reviewed. Maxillofacial and tooth injuries were separated and further analyzed according to the above parameters. Maxillofacial or dental injuries were observed in 1668 (7.4%) of the trauma patients, caused by motor vehicle accidents (39.2%), falls (30.9%), and intentional injuries (21.2%). Most occurred on the street/road (46.5%), at home (18.8%), and in public buildings (12.4%). Arab patients suffered more from vehicle accidents while Jewish patients presented more intentional injuries. Men were hospitalized three times more than women, and young people were at greater risk. The most frequent age of trauma was 19-28 years (27.6%). Ethnic differences were particularly noticeable for intentional injuries and vehicle accidents. This emphasizes that a larger percentage of the Arab population suffered from dental and maxillofacial injuries. Further dental health education and training for primary caregivers are warranted.
