Orbitozygomatic fractures are some of the most common facial fractures evaluated and treated by plastic surgeons. A considerable debate remains surrounding the manner of evaluation and appropriate treatment modalities. On the one hand, some would suggest that few fractures need formal open reduction and internal fixation, whereas others would argue that the pull of the strong masseter muscle ultimately leads to inferior and lateral rotation of the zygoma, which justifies open reduction and internal fixation of most fractures excepting those fractures that are nondisplaced at all points of articulation. The authors hope to shed some light on these issues by conveying their perspective on these fractures that has developed over several decades while servicing a single, major Level I trauma center. In general, the authors feel that through a detailed evaluation including an accurate physical examination of the face and orbit combined with detailed computed tomographic scanning of the craniofacial skeleton and soft tissues, an appropriate treatment plan can be generated. The common goal among all treatment plans should be the exact three-dimensional restoration of the disturbed anatomy, that is, anatomical reduction and the need for accurate restoration of orbital anatomy and volume when necessary.
