Status of the internal orbit after reduction of zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.
We sought to determine the status of the internal orbit before and after reduction of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures when treated without internal orbital reconstruction. ⋯ The preoperative CT scan can be used to assess the amount of internal orbital disruption for purposes of developing a treatment plan in patients with ZMC fractures. When there is minimal or no soft tissue herniation and minimal disruption of the internal orbit, ZMC reduction is adequate treatment.
