Use of Orthopaedic Impactor to Assist the Fine Reduction of Rotated Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures

Anatomic reduction of Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures is quite challenging and technically demanding. Various methods and instruments are mentioned in the literature to achieve the same. However, a precise anatomic reduction is still a difficult task. We propose the use of a simple ortho...

Summary:Anatomic reduction of Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures is quite challenging and technically demanding. Various methods and instruments are mentioned in the literature to achieve the same. However, a precise anatomic reduction is still a difficult task. We propose the use of a simple orthopaedic impactor in reducing laterally rotated ZMC fractures.
