Our study aimed to evaluate modified patient-specific surgical-guide-assisted precise treatment of unilateral comminuted zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. The retrospective non-randomized study was conducted in a single hospital in China. All patients diagnosed with unilateral comminuted ZMC fractures between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent preoperative spiral computed tomography (CT). CT data were processed using software to DICOM format and transferred to Proplan CMF3.0 for preoperative virtual surgical planning and postoperative evaluation. All data were extracted from standardized electronic medical records. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 20.0. The chi-square test and t-test were used for statistical analyses. The 54 included patients were divided into two comparable, equal cohorts of 27 patients, and followed up for at least 6 months. Fracture reduction was assisted using the modified patient-specific surgical guides in the guide group (23 males, four females; mean age 37.74 ± 12.07 years) and without the modified patient-specific surgical guides in the control group (20 males, seven females; mean age 37.44 ± 13.58 years). In the guide group, the mean eminence deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 1.01 ± 0.92 mm, and the mean width deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 1.29 ± 1.32 mm. In the control group, the mean eminence deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 1.99 ± 1.69 mm, and the mean width deviation between the affected and unaffected sides was 2.68 ± 2.01 mm. The differences in facial protrusion (p = 0.001) and width (p = 0.003) symmetry between the affected and healthy sides of the two groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05). In conclusion, applying the modified patient-specific surgical guides to unilateral comminuted zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture reduction has the advantages of greater predictability and effectiveness, and improved bilateral ZMC symmetry. It should be noted that this approach would be especially beneficial for less-experienced surgeons.
