Excerpt from St. Thomas's Hospital Reports, 1889, Vol. 17Fracture of the Zygoma is a rare accident the following is an instance. A young man applied to me under the following Circumstances. He was totally unable to separate his jaws or to move the lower maxilla in any way. He said that, two or three weeks previously, he had been struck on the cheek with a policeman's truncheon, and pointed to the left zygomatic arch as the spot. Here the bone was depressed, and the tissues around were a good deal thickened. It was evident that the broken arch was driven in, and that callus was already thrown out in considerable abundance, for two or three weeks had elapsed since the injury was received, and the trismus had become gradually more confirmed day by day. Of course there was nothing to be done for him, as I declined to use force to separate the jaws, anticipating that nature would accomplish this in due time: and such proved to be the case, for the patient entirely recovered, and there was very little deformity left at the seat of injury.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
