Abstract
Zygomatic bone along with its adjacent articulating bones is known as zygomatic complex.The zygomatic complex fractures are one of the frequently occurring maxillofacial injuries due to its prominence and facial contour. Personal altercations, Assaults, Road traffic accidents are the common causes leading to fracture of the zygomatic bone.The zygomatico-maxillary complex is one of the principle buttress of the face and helps in transmitting the occlusal forces to the skull base.Fracture of zygomatic bone may lead to aesthetic and functional deformity.There are various surgical techniques and approaches to reduce and fix the fractured zygomatic complex. Expertise of the Maxillofacial surgeon and thorough anatomical knowledge is of advantage in managing these fractures. DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1314References
