Abstract

Fractures of the zygomatic-orbital complex are quite frequent due to their location and projection on the face, which can cause major functional and aesthetic disorders to the patient. The zygomatic bone is essential in the configuration of the face, being the main forming structure of the middle third of it. The traumas that most often cause fractures of the zygomatic-orbital complex are physical aggression, traffic accidents, and sports. The type of fracture, elapsed time, severity, and the involvement of other facial structures influence the type of treatment to be employed. The present work presents a clinical case of fracture of the left zygomatic-orbital complex, diagnosed late, and treated by osteotomy, reduction, and fixation in three points with 1.5 system plates and screws, and reconstruction of the orbital floor with titanium mesh.
