Bilateral Fracture Zygoma

Thesis class period constituted of me watching a video of reconstructive facial trauma surgery for bilateral fracture zygoma. The video was approximately 15 minutes long and it included the entire surgical process. Bilateral fracture zygoma is a rare case in which the zygoma is altered, the integrity of the zygoma is critical in mantaining normal facial width and prominence of the cheek. Traffic accidents are often the cause of this fracture to the zygomatic structure.
Below is the link to the video:

I also found an article that related to the topic of bilateral fracture zygoma that provided me with additional information. It also analyzed the case of a 31 year old male patient.
