PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This hands-on AO style simulation will guide participants through options for achieving reduction and fixation of ZMOC fractures in a case based scenario. Participants will then practice the surgical application of these various techniques with expert feedback to refine technique and discuss ways to optimize efficiency and proficiency. This will include a brief case presentation, and small group discussion of options. Vendors are providing models for practicing the reduction of ZMOC fractures and performing fixation of vertical buttresses and orbital floor reconstruction.
This is an industry supported event.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: Understand and demonstrate options for reducing zygomatic tetrapod fractures.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: Understand options for exposure of zygomaticofrontal, infraorbital rim and zygomaticomaxillary buttress with plate application in each location.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: Demonstrate multi wall orbital reconstruction after reduction of a ZMOC fracture.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: ZMOC fractures are commonly encountered among facial trauma surgeons. Understanding options for fixating 1, 2 or 3 locations of a ZMOC fracture and the indications for concomitant floor reconstruction allows surgeons to target the plan degree of exposure and mitigate soft tissue trauma.
