ZMC / Tripod Fracture Anatomy
The cheekbone (zygoma) forms a key part of the mid-face contour and eye socket rim. ZMC fractures, also known as tripod fractures, cause flattening of the cheek, double vision, and can lock the jaw by pressing on the lower jaw bone (coronoid process). Surgical correction involves lifting the bone back into position via a Gillies temporal approach or direct plating at key facial buttresses to restore facial contours and jaw joint mobility.
