Fig. 9From: Does facial soft tissue protect against zygomatic fractures? Results of a finite element analysisIntermediate stress situation. a: (left) scenario with included soft tissue at 1.5 msec after impact; b: (right) scenario without soft tissue at timepoint 0.24 msec after impact. An identical stress pattern is displayed, the only difference is the time shift of 1.26 msec due to the buffer effect of the midfacial soft tissue envelopeBack to article page
