The maxilla-facial traumatic injuries, zygomatic - orbital complex and orbit lower edge injuries are characterized by dislocation of bone fragments, causing not only the anatomo-functional disorders but well-expressed deformity/ abnormality of the patient. 28 patients with traumatic fractures of zygomatic - alveolar complex and orbit lower edge have been studied and got surgical treatment by the authors. At admission to the hospitals, all the patients were the subjects to a classic comprehensive / complex examination including a Spiral Computed Tomography, with 3D reconstruction (three-dimensional) (in 3 projections).
