Simplified repair of zygomatic fractures through a transconjunctival approach.

Abstract

To describe a simplified technique of zygomatic fracture repair. Retrospective, noncomparative case series with description of a surgical technique. Twenty consecutive patients with zygomatic fractures undergoing repair with the described technique. Fracture repair was accomplished with a technique that used a T-bar screw for reduction through a transconjunctival approach. Successful fracture reduction. Twenty patients with zygomatic fractures underwent successful reduction with the simplified technique. No complications were observed. The use of the T-bar through a transconjunctival approach is a simplified and effective technique for zygomatic fracture repair.
