title: [Clinical analysis of 35 patients with orbital maxillary zygoma complex fractures].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the treatment result of reposition and fixation to orbital maxillary zygoma complex fractures.
  
  
  METHODS
  The records of 35 patients, who were treated in 1996-1998 at our hospital, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients of open fracture operated debridement, at the same time, operated reposition and fixation. The patients of closed fracture operated hairline approach and sublabial approach or use two approach for reposition and fixation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We had 35 patients of operation. After operation, two of them had malocclusion, one of them had facial deformity, two of them had restriction of mouth opening. The treatment results of the rest appeared to be reasonably satisfactory.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To know topographic anatomy, earlier reposition and sturdy fixation is the key for curing orbital maxillary zygoma complex fractures.
