A simple, closed method for zygomatico-maxillary fracture treatment is described i.e. replacement by the use of a traction bone-hook. After X-ray and clinical examination had excluded undisplaced fractures, blow out fractures and comminuted fractures, the postreduction stability was assessed peroperatively and again one week after. Sophisticated preoperative fracture-classifications predicting postoperative stability appeared redundant. In the present study, this procedure could be performed in 55.4% of the total fractures which needed to be reduced. At re-evaluation, two to eight years later, the results remained satisfactory. The method appeared, in addition to its simplicity, to require less complicated postoperative care and, therefore, a short hospitalization.

Background: Most tertiary-care teaching institutes in low and middle-income nations lack dedicated oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) units in the emergency trauma centers. Consequently, most facial fractures need to be managed in the otolaryngology and head-neck surgery (ORL-HNS) setup.
Objectives: To present a study on a series of patients with facial fractures attending the emergency and outpatient departments of ORL-HNS in a tertiary-care teaching institute in India that lacked the facility of OMFS in its emergency trauma center.

Multifragmentary and displaced zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are often a challenge for the maxillofacial surgeon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the improved performance in the management of patients with tripod fracture of the orbito-zygomaticomaxillary complex, using two different methods of virtual surgical planning - virtual reduction and mirroring - compared with traditional management. A cohort of 60 patients was selected and divided into three groups, each consisting of 20 individuals.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a surgical technique called the preseptal transconjunctival approach with a Y modification in treating zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.
- Conducted from 2012 to 2020, the research involved 49 patients and evaluated various factors including surgical exposure time, complications, and cosmetic outcomes.
- Results showed excellent fracture exposure in 73.5% of cases, minimal visible scarring in the majority of patients, and concluded that the technique offers significant advantages, though it requires specialized skills and experience.

Zygomatic bone fractures should be effectively diagnosed and treated because they affect how the face is shaped for both aesthetically and functional reasons. It is possible to compare different surgical techniques and their comorbidities objectively through using outcome quantitative assessments, which call for a treatment programme and long-term follow-up. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of two procedures and the effectiveness of the zygomatic bone following open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) employing two-point fixation and ORIF employing three-point fixation.
