A tripod fracture, also known as a zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture, involves a break in three key areas of the facial skeleton: the zygomatic bone, the maxilla, and the orbit. This type of fracture typically results from significant trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident or a sports injury, leading to facial asymmetry, swelling, and potential visual disturbances. Treatment often requires surgical intervention to realign and stabilize the fractured bones.
