Re-operative factors in Zygomatico-orbital trauma

Introduction: The principle of facial fracture treatment is that satisfactory initial management will reduce the risk of long term morbidity. A need to return to theatre (RTT) after surgical treatment may suggest failure of initial management. Research on indications for RTT is scarce and no predictive factors have been identified to date. Early appreciation of such factors may improve initial management of fractures. We reviewed 5 years of trauma to identify cases requiring RTT, and attempt to establish predictive factors.
