What is a zygomatic fracture?
Simple zygomatic fracture is a break on the hairline in zygom or cheekbones. Complex zygomatic fractures may include the cheekbone and part of the eye orbit. If the fracture has caused a piece of cheekbone to move or move, plastic surgery may be required to restore the bone pieces of the zygoma to the original position. Underlying fractures are usually treated with ice and pain drugs. Receiving rapid medical care can avoid permanent disfigurement, nerve damage and vision problems. The bone fragments can cause increased pressure on the eye nerves and can cause intraorbital bleeding, resulting in visual problems. Some people may not be able to chew because of the limited movement of the Master's muscles. The displaced bone fractures can cause the face to look different and the most common disfigurement is called the face of dishes due to concave cheekbone.
Complex zygomatic fractures usually require surgery to restore bone stability and normalice. Reconstruction surgery is carried out within three weeks of injury that caused a fracture. In addition to repairing the face symmetry, surgery should restore nervous function and allow the patient to chew comfortably. It will also reduce the pressure on occipital orbit and fix the eye problems that some people have a fracture after.
Plastic surgeon is likely to use a zygomatic fracture during surgery. Transoral means that the surgeon cuts inside the mouth to get to the broken bone. This technique reduces visible scarring from the operation. If a piece of bone Zygoma has been moved to the orbital edge, a second cut near the eye orbital may be required. Stabilization of zygomatic fractures can be implanted by titanium boards and screws.
Immediately after surgery is an oral wound full of gauze and the face can be laid a compression cover to loweril Otok. The pain will be prescribed up to ten days after the operation. Then, free -of -the -counter non -counter anti -inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will be recommended to relieve residual pain and inflammation.
A healing zygomatic fracture person should avoid some activities. As long as the fracture does not heal completely, it is very important that it does not work into the nose blowing. It could force air in orbit and cause blindness. Sport and any other energetic activity should be avoided until the doctor has published a person for normal activities.
