EVALUATION OF BIORESORBABLE PLATES IN TREATMENT OF ZYGOMACTIC FRACTURE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the results of surgical treatment zygomatic fracture using bioresorbable plates. Subjects and methods: A clinical description, retrospective study of 20 patients between 01/2019 – 01/2021. Results: We had 20 patients, 11 male patients (55%), 9 female patients (45%). The average age of group: 24,8. The most common clinical signs: Swelling and bruising (75%), sharp pain when palpation (85%), discontinuity of inferior orbital rim (65%), limited mouth opening (40%), numbness (15%). X ray: displaced body fracture unrotated(35%), medially rotated body fracture(35%), laterally rotated body fracture (30%). The results of treatment: Function: Good (100%). Esthetic: Good (95%), Average (5%). Conclusions: Bioresorbable plates can applied for uncomplicated zygomatic fractues, and bioresorbable osteosynthesiscan be considered a viable alternative to titanium osteosynthesis.
