Epistaxis Balloon Catheter Stabilization of Zygomatic Arch Fractures

Isolated zygomatic arch fractures represent about 10% of facial fractures. Most are easily reduced, but about 7% require fixation. Stabilization with plates, transcutaneous wiring, and various packing materials may involve additional morbidity and other drawbacks. A double balloon epistaxis catheter may be inserted beneath the arch fracture site and inflated for 5 to 7 days as a relatively simple, reliable alternative that involves minimal morbidity.

… Zygomatic fractures are the most common facial fractures or second in frequencyafter the nasal fractures. The high incidence of zygomatic fractures probably relates to itsprominent position in the facial skeleton hence it is frequently exposed to fractures. This casereport presents an isolated bilateral zygomatic arch fracture that was been reduced by Gille’stemporal approach and stabilized using foley’s balloon catheter. This study highlights theimportance of early diagnosis and timely treatment to reduce the morbities

Abstract Background This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the induction of labour in mid-trimester pregnancy using a double-balloon catheter (DBC) within 12 h versus within 12–24 h. Methods In this retrospective study, a total of 58 pregnant women at 14 + 0 weeks to 27 + 6 weeks of gestation were enrolled as research subjects, and they underwent the intended termination of pregnancy at our birth centre from January 1, 2017, to June 31, 2019. Based on the duration of DBC, the patients were divided into two groups, namely, the DBC group within 12 h and the DBC group within 12–24 h. Results All 58 cases were successful vaginal deliveries, and no one chose to undergo caesarean section. The success rate of induction (successful abortion of the foetus and placenta without the implementation of dilation and evacuation) was higher in the DBC group within 12–24 h (96.3%, 29/31) than in the DBC group within 12 h (71.0%, 18/27) (p < 0.05). Additionally, the time from DBC removal to delivery in the DBC group within 12–24 h was significantly shorter than that in the DBC group within 12 h (3.0 h versus 17.8 h) (p < 0.05), and the degree of cervical dilation after DBC removal in the DBC group within 12–24 h was larger than that in the DBC group within 12 h (p < 0.05). Conclusion In the clinic, the placement time of DBC generally lasts for approximately 12 h. However, considering that the cervical condition is immature in the mid-trimester, properly extending the placement time of DBC to 24 h will benefit cervical ripening and reduce the chance of dilation and evacuation.
