Brief summary

In this study, a new method was proposed to calculate the length of sideburns mini incision for zygomatic arch fracture. The purpose of this study was to compare the sideburns mini incision calculated by this method with the coronal scalp incision, so as to determine the therapeutic effect and advantages of sideburns mini incision calculated by this method.

Detailed description

Eighty patients with zygomatic arch fracture were treated with surgical intervention. Forty patients were treated with sideburns mini incision, and the other forty patients were treated with coronal scalp incision. Data such as incision length, operation time and postoperative complications were recorded. The follow-up periods were 6 months.

Interventions

PROCEDUREsideburns mini incision

The investigators present a new method to calculate the shortest incision for zygomatic fracture, and use this method to calculate the sideburns mini incision for the surgical treatment of zygomatic arch fracture.

PROCEDUREcoronal scalp incision

Coronal scalp incisions were used as control group.

Inclusion criteria

1. Clinical and imaging diagnosis of zygomatic arch fracture or zygomatic maxillary complex fracture. 2. Fracture fragments are obviously displaced, which affects the appearance and function of the patient. Simple prying is instable and requires open reduction and internal fixation. 3. No previous surgical treatment.

Exclusion criteria

1. Accompanied by multiple fractures of mandible, nasal bone and so on. 2. There are traumatic scars in the operation area, which can be accessed through the original wound. 3. History of bone disease and / or wound healing disorders. 4. Mental and intellectual disorders.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incision lengthduring the surgical procedureIncision length for open reduction and internal fixation of zygomatic arch fractures.
Operative durationfrom the beginning to the end of surgeryThe length of time spent on operation.
Postoperative pain24 hours after surgeryVisual Analogue Scale was used to evaluate the burden of postoperative pain. The maximum score is 10, and the minimum score is 0. Higher scores represent more intense pain.
Postoperative stayFrom the end of surgery until discharge, up to 15 days. After evaluation by the same chief knife physician, the patient recovered well postoperatively and could be discharged.Days of postoperative hospital stay was calculated to evaluate patient recovery.
Postoperative adverse effectsfrom the end of surgery to 6 months after surgeryIncluding bleeding, malocclusion, infection, nerve injury, etc.
