title: [Treatment results of cheekbone fractures. Follow-up studies of 300 cases].
abstract: Zygomatic bone fractures should be reset as early and as accurately as possible. Osteosynthesis by wiring is usually sufficient if interfragmentary fixation becomes necessary. Any further primary decompression measure at the nerve should be omitted. This will help to avoid severe late sequels at the infraorbital nerve (1.3%). Late resetting as well as late measures to effect decompression are definitely known to have a poor prognosis (300 cases followed up).
