The factors associated with types of zygomatic fracture in maxillofacial trauma patients in Khon Kaen Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of the study was to analyze the factors associated with three types of zygomatic fracture according to classification of Zingg. We conducted the 5-year retrospective study, a total of 621 patients were enrolled in the study. We utilized univariate and multivariate analyses to investigate the association. According to the results of this study, factors associated with types of zygomatic fracture were different. Age, traffic accidents and severe traumatic brain injury were associated significantly with zygomatic fracture type A. Midface fracture and orbital floor defect were associated significantly with zygomatic fracture type C. No factor was associated with zygomatic fracture type B
