In this article, the authors relate their experience in the management of zygomatic fractures, based on 168 cases treated in the Plastic Surgery Unit of Bruges between January 1971 and August 1980. The symptomatology and treatment of those fractures are discussed according to the type of fracture. The importance of the early treatment and the necessity of osteosynthesis when the fronto-zygomatic suture is distracted are stressed. Multifragmented fractures are treated in the same way by means of osteosynthesis. The use of a silastic sheet for blow-out floor fractures is advocated.
