A ZYGOMATIC COMPLEX FRACTURE INCLUDES DISRUPTION OF THE FOUR ARTICULATING SUTURES: zygomaticofrontal, zygomaticotemporal, zygomaticomaxillary and zygomaticosphenoidal sutures. All zygomatic complex fractures involve the orbital floor and therefore an understanding of orbital anatomic features is essential for those treating these injuries.
