Surgical interventions in blow out fractures are generally indicated in cases of alterations in orbital function (e.g. diplopia) and for aesthetic reasons (e.g. enophthalmos). In assessing the severity of the injury, the clinician often uses parameters such as changes in visual acuity, patient-reported diplopia, changes in globe position and evaluation of the extraocular muscles in association with imaging exam...
This work proposes an alternative technique for zygomatic fractures contention. Steel wire cerclage supports an 1.5 Kirchner wire shaped in double U by cutaneous anchorage. This technique can be indicated in cases of closed reduction of zigomatic arch fractures without fixation that may loose reduction if not properly protected.
