Etiology and pattern of zygomatic complex fractures: a retrospective study.

Abstract

This study has shown that road traffic accidents are responsible for most zygomatic complex fractures in our environment. Urgent enforcement of road traffic legislation is therefore necessary to minimize zygomatic complex fractures due to road traffic accidents. It also showed a low utilization of technological advances in the imaging and treatment of these fractures. These may play a role in the frequency of postoperative complications.
