Fig. 4From: Does facial soft tissue protect against zygomatic fractures? Results of a finite element analysisComparison of maximum stress pattern in both scenarios. Left (a) with, right (b) without soft tissue simulation. Regions coloured red are above the assumed failure of bone (150 MPa) and represent a typical zygomatic fracture. The zygomatic arch shows also high stresses. This maximum stress pattern will be reached 0.6 (b) respectively 1.9 msec (a) after impactBack to article page
