title: [Fractures of the zygomaxillary complex: indications for exploration and reconstruction of the orbital floor].
abstract: Within the period of 11 years 132 patients with fractures and dislocations of the zygomatic maxillary complex have been treated at the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery of the M.M.A. In all cases the Converse-Valentine method was used which provided good reposition and fixation of fragments in the correct anatomic position as well as insight into the state of the orbital floor. In 75 operated patients (56.81%) it was necessary to reconstruct the orbital floor by osteo or allotransplants. The results have pointed out the necessity of operative reposition and fixation of fragments on three typical sites as well as the necessity of exploration of the orbital floor in order to prevent diplopia, sensibility disorders as well as traumatic neuralgia.
