Background: Isolated depressed zygomatic arch fractures are often treated with closed reduction. Reduction is usually performed through the Gillies approach or Keen approach. comminuted zygomatic arch fractures generally require open reduction and fixation to achieve good results. This article describes how to use a pair of surgical templates to assist in the fixation of comminuted zygomatic arch fractures with absorbable plates. Methods: A pair of computer-designed surgical templates were applied to restore the main part of zygomatic arch. Placing a surgical template on the medial side of the zygomatic arch can provide a supporting force and improves the stability of the reduced bone fragments. The lateral template of zygomatic arch limits the excessive uplift of bone fragments. Results and Discussion: The operation was performed according to the predetermined procedure. Postoperative computed tomography showed satisfactory reduction effect. In conclusion, with the aid of surgical templates, the reduction and fixation of comminuted zygomatic arch fractures can be more easily performed using absorbable plates.

“…Regarding procedures for stabilizing zygomatic arch fractures, direct plate fixation with plates and screws 1 and indirect fixation without them have been reported. [2][3][4][5][6] However, detailed discussion or optimal procedure according to fracture type is lacking, and no consensus has been reached regarding treating zygomatic arch fractures combined with zygomatic body fractures.…”

Transmalar Kirshner Wire Fixation Under Ultrasound Scanning is Useful for Unstable Zygomatic Arch Fracture Combined With Zygomatic Body Fracture

Plate fixation to zygomatic arch fractures carries the risk of facial nerve palsy and scarring of the cheek; however, without plate fixation, bone deviation or displacement may reoccur after surgery. Furthermore, zygomatic arch fractures combined with zygomatic body fractures are more postoperatively unstable than single zygomatic arch fractures. Few reports have focused on this combined fracture type, and no consensus has been reached regarding treatment. Because plate fixation for slight deviation of the zygomatic body has little advantage for stabilization, the authors, usually opt for transmalar pinning alone instead of plate fixation at the hospital. This study is a retrospective case series of 7 patients, among 100 zygomatic fractures excluding isolated zygomatic arch fractures, treated using transmalar pinning under ultrasound scanning. The reduction was performed through the oral and temporal incision as a surgical procedure. Under ultrasound observation, a Kirshner wire was inserted into the zygomatic body from the unaffected side while maintaining the reduced position. The wire was removed at an outpatient visit 2 to 3 months following surgery. In all cases, the zygomatic body was of the laterally rotated type, and postoperative morphologic evaluation showed improvement without postoperative complications. Scores were higher in middle-aged and older than in young people. Correction of zygomatic rotation also scored higher than zygomatic arch morphology. Transmalar Kirshner wire fixation under ultrasound observation is a simple and minimally invasive method for zygomatic arch fractures, which avoids the possible complications related to plate fixation.
