Abstract
It was possible to stabilize 3 of 4 zygomatic fractures with 1.5- or 1.7-mm biodegradable osteosynthesis. Insufficient fracture stabilization, especially at the infraorbital rim and the zygomaticomaxillary crest/anterior sinus wall, was the main reason to switch to titanium osteosynthesis. The biodegradable screw design is possibly too bulky for these particular bony structures.
