Retrospective Study over 15-years Period on Zygomathic arch Fractures: A Single Center Experience.

The purpose of this study was to do a retrospective analysis about patients with zygomatic arch who were treated at the department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Regional University Hospital of Ancona, Italy, between 2007 and 2021. Patients were evaluated based on various parameters including age, sex, aetiology, symptoms, comorbidity, clinical findings, zygomatic arch fracture type, other facial fractures, treatment, waiting time before the operation, complications and sequelae. In the period described we recorded 103 zygomatic arch fractures.

Trans-Tragal Approach for Mandibular Neck and Head Condylar Fractures.

This retrospective observational study evaluates the trans-tragal approach for the treatment of mandibular head and neck condylar fractures. From January 2009 to May 2024, 34 patients (20 males, 14 females, mean age 34 years) with 36 condylar fractures were treated using this approach. Surgical outcomes were assessed based on occlusal relationship, maximum mouth opening, and facial nerve function (House-Brackmann scale).
