Fractures of the malar-zygomatic compound.

Fractures of the malar-zygomatic compound have in recent years emerged from relative obscurity and become one of the better known fractures seen in casualty departments and maxillofacial units. During the period from January 1950 to August 195I, I07 cases were treated in this unit at the Wythenshawe Hospital and an analysis of these cases is given in this paper. More car and motor-cycle acciden...
