Zygomatic Bone Fracture

A zygomatic bone fracture involves a break in the cheekbone, which is a prominent facial bone that provides facial structure and supports the eye. Such fractures often result from trauma or impact to the face, causing pain, swelling, bruising, and possible facial deformity. Symptoms may include difficulty moving the eye, double vision, numbness, or an uneven facial appearance. Treatment depends on the severity and may involve observation, medications for pain and swelling, or surgical repair to realign the bone and restore normal function and appearance. Prompt medical evaluation is important to address potential complications.
