Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome measures to be assessed: a. Distance of zygomatic arch from temporal bone on fracture side and compared with contralateral normal side. Measurement to be taken pre-operatively and post-operatively on routine CBCT scan. b. Any discrepancy of arch symmetry to be assessed by digital palpation by a blinded observer. c. Recording of Maximal inter-incisal mouth opening to be done both pre-operatively and post-operatively. Timepoint: outcome to be assessed at the end of the time of post op check | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessment of Zygomatico-maxillary complex with arch fractures based on the use of intraoperative ultrasound imaging techniqueTimepoint: At the end of this study the surgeons would be able to rely on the use of ultrasound guided primary intervention in the reduction of zygomatic arch reduction. | — |
