title: [Treatment results after zygomatico-orbital fractures].
abstract: Between 1973 and 1974, 96 zygomatic fractures were diagnosed of which 89 were surgically treated. 75 fractures were set openly and of these 65 were joined by osteosynthesis. 75 patient were examined later. Results show that posttraumatic complications occurred more frequently in fractures set without opening than in fractures set by osteosynthesis. Open reposition is therefore recommended, along with stabilization by osteosynthesis.
