A zygomatic fracture is a break in the zygomatic bone, commonly known as the cheekbone. This type of injury often occurs due to trauma, such as a sports accident, a fall, or a car crash. Symptoms may include swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the jaw. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans. Treatment can vary from pain management and ice application to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the fracture. Proper care is essential to restore facial symmetry and function, as well as to prevent complications.
