Abstract

It is difficult to get a satisfactory result for the correction of malunited fracture of zygoma. Triple osteotomy and reposition of malunited zygoma is accepted as the better surgical method than camouflage surgery by means of onlays, if the orbital floor is to be reconstructed. The surgical approach can be divided into bicoronal, periorbital, intraoral and old scar. In 7 patients with malunited fracture of zygoma, the authors used a limited approach through extension of periorbital incision and intraoral incision instead of wide exposure including bicoronal incision. And we performed triple osteotomy and advancement of zygoma complex. The patients were followed for 4.5 months with acceptable result, and this approach was an effective method for the relatively simple tripod type-malunited fracture of zygoma. The authors obtained following conclusions: 1. Preoperative evaluation through thorough measurement of X-rays, investigation of photographs and detail communication with the patients was an important process. 2. Through lateral extension of subciliary incision, lateral eyebrow and intraoral incision, we could obtain adequate exposure for triple osteotomy and advancement of zygoma. 3. The zygoma should be reduced and fixed in an overcorrected superior and medial direction. 4. Return of zygoma to its anatomical position was possible only when it is completely freed from the surrounding soft tissue including masseter. 5. We could not find any different results between autogenous calvareal bone graft and $Medpor^{(R)}$ insertion on the floor of orbit.

본 교실에서는 1994년 11월부터 1996년 4월까지 수상 후 혹은 일차 교정 후 평균 3.2개월 경과한, 7명의 환자에서 제한된 접근방식으로 2차석 교정술을 시행하여 평균 4.5개월의 추적 조사한 후 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었으며 다음과 같은 결론을 내렸다. 1. 술전에 X-ray 검토, 사고 전의 사진, 충분한 대화 등을 토대로 가능한 정확한 절골선과 변형정도 등의 교정을 위한 계측이 필요하다. 2. 관골의 삼각골절 후 안면변형인 경우는 반드시 광범위 노출법보다는 제한적 방법으로 교정이 가능했다. 3. 절골된 관골은 내측 및 전상방으로 과교정해야 한다. 4. 절골 및 재배치시 저작근을 포함하여 주위 연부조직을 분리시키는 것이 중요하다. 5 안구함몰의 교정을 위해서 안와기저부 및 측부에 자가 골이식이나 고밀도 폴리에틸렌($Medpor^{(R)}$)의 삽입 후 결과의 차이는 발견할 수 없었다.
