Introduction:The middle third of the face is the most common site of injury and is frequently complicated by associated ocular injuries. It may be simple laceration, ecchymosis, circumorbital edema, or severe as globe injury or injury to the optic nerve and vision loss. Even severe injury like internal bleeding causes increased intraocular pressure and damages the optic nerve; if managed earlier, it could prevent further damage and dysfunction of the eye. Midfacial fractures associated with ocular injuries should have an early ophthalmological examination to detect ocular injuries. Little is known about the current epidemiology of midface fractures and associated ocular injuries in Tamil Nadu, the state of India. The aim was to study the etiology and pattern of middle third fracture and associated ocular injuries.

“…The lowest incidence was seen in the seventh and eighth decades (4.68%). The reason is attributed to the fact that individuals in third decade of life are more active physically [9,11]. The right side of the face was involved in 62.44% cases whereas left side of the face involved 34.74% cases; the ratio being 1.79:1.…”

Aim This retrospective study was done to analyse the management of zygomatic complex fractures necessitating surgical intervention in a tertiary care hospital in a 8 year period in terms of incidence, cause, pattern and treatment. Materials and Methods Two hundred and thirteen cases of zygomatic complex fractures treated during this period were analysed. Results One hundred and eighty three cases of zygomatic complex fractures were treated by a two point fixation while additional fixation was used in 25 cases and single point fixation in five cases. The main etiology in zygomatic complex fractures was Road traffic accidents (RTA) (83.56 %-178 cases) followed by sport injuries (10 cases-4.65%), accidental falls (19 cases-8.9%) and domestic violence (2.81%-6 cases). The average age at the time of injury was 34.36 years with the age range being 7 years to 75 years. The highest incidence of fractures was seen in the third decade of life (102 cases) (47.88 %) followed by the second decade (44 cases) (20.65%), 41 cases (19.24 %) in the 4th decade, 8 cases each (3.75%) in the 5th and 6th decades, six cases (2.81%) in the 7th decade and four cases (1.87%) in the 8th decade. Conclusion The protocol of two point fixation was found to be adequate in most cases of zygomatic complex fractures in terms of stability and restoration of contour and function.

“…Function, esthetics and neurological assessments were done in immediate post operative phase and during periodic review. Ocular functions such as eye movements, presence/absence of diplopia were assessed postoperatively [2,3]. All patients were reviewed for the period ranging from one month to one year with an average of six months.…”
