Abstract

Introduction: Zygoma is one of the facial bones that are impacted in the accidents. Hence, we aim to evaluate the patient's profiles in the fracture associated with zygomatic bone.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective clinical study with 60 subjects who were divided equally into cases (30) and controls (30); controls were general population and the cases underwent surgery of zygomatic complex fracture. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed by the means of the questionnaire. The values were compared for the significance keeping < 0.05 as significant.

Results: The preoperative 15D score was lesser for cases than controls. Soon after surgery, it was statistically least and after a month, the mean score surpassed the controls. Infraorbital sensory loss was seen even after 6 months.

Conclusions: As expected, the HRQoL decreases only to improve after the surgery. However, the infra-orbital nerve sensory loss may continue for over 6 months after the zygomatic complex fracture.
