[QUOTE="Duct Tape, post: 1148950, member: 87383"] Much better news than a mandible fracture. Nuances, as mentioned above - nondisplaced zygomatic arch fx, typically treated conservatively in the States. For elite athletes for faster recovery, or for badly displaced fx - internal metal plating. If lateral orbital rim or floor, or maxillary sinus involved, much bigger deal and longer recovery. A scrum half could prob get away with a plastic face shield after a few weeks (would be a lot tougher for props, locks, 8), but don’t know if allowed in rugby. Guessing he will also need to pass concussion Impact test too. My favorite player, hugely personally disappointed and sad for WC. [/QUOTE]
