“…In clinical practice, the closed reduction of zygomatic arch fractures is frequently performed using specially designed and standardized instruments, such as Rowe's or Gillies' malar elevators. Furthermore, the use of various instruments such as Foley's catheter, [9,10] epistaxis balloon catheter, [11] clamps, [12,13] screws, [14] wire sutures, [15] bone hooks, [7] etc., have been previously described for this purpose.…”

Objective: To present technical details and experiences regarding the use of a Tubbs-Logan mitral valve dilator for the closed reduction of zygomatic arch fractures.Method: Over a period of about three years, closed reduction was indicated and performed in 22 patients with a zygomatic arch fracture. In all patients, depressed fracture segments were reduced using a Tubbs-Logan mitral valve dilator via the Gillies' temporal approach. Results:The majority of the injuries were due to motor vehicle collisions (n=8, 36.4%). The zygomatic arch fracture was isolated in 12 patients (54.5%). However, it was a component of a zygomatic complex fracture in 10 patients (45.5%). Of those, rigid internal fixation of the zygomatic body was performed in 8 and the zygomatic body was only closely reduced by a bone hook in 2 pa-tients. Repair of a concomitant orbital floor fracture was performed in 2, a mandibular angle fracture in 1 and a frontal sinus fracture in 1 patient. The reduction status of the zygomatic arch was excellent in 12 (54.5%), good in 8 (36.4%) and fair in 2 patients (9.1%). During the follow-ups, no functional or cosmetic sequelae regarding repaired fractures of the zygomatic arch, zygomatic body or other facial bones were recorded. Conclusion:We suggest that the Tubbs-Logan mitral valve dilator is a safe and effective alternative in terms of closed reduction of zygomatic arch fractures, whether they are isolated or not. We think that further ergonomic modifications would be beneficial to improve the positioning of the instrument in restricted areas observed due to severe depression of the zygomatic arch.

Management of the unstable isolated zygomatic arch fracture: a case study and review of the literature

Isolated fractures of the zygomatic arch are a relatively common injury, and reduction of the fracture is usually accomplished via a 'closed' or 'indirect' technique such as a temporal approach. Such methods are extremely successful but, on the rare occasion when the reduction is unstable, do not afford access for direct fixation. Several methods of supporting the unstable fragments have been suggested. We compare the methods described and suggest an approach to management of the unstable arch with a case example. Clinical relevanceUnstable reduction of an isolated zygomatic arch fracture is a rare complication. When encountered following reduction via a temporal approach, use of a Foley catheter through this same route is a simple and effective method of stabilisation and can avoid the need to consider alternative approaches such as a coronal flap.

“…Gutman et al [7] in 1965 reported the use of Foley catheter in the treatment of zygomatic bone fractures. Podoshin and Fradis [10] popularized the procedure of using Foley's catheter below the zygomatic arch through the Gille's temporal approach. Maron and Glover reported the use of Foley's catheter in the treatment of tripod fractures.…”

Zygomatic fractures are the most common facial fractures or second in frequency after the nasal fractures. The high incidence of zygomatic fractures probably relates to its prominent position in the facial skeleton hence it is frequently exposed to fractures. This case report presents an isolated zygomatic arch fracture that was been reduced by Gille's temporal approach and stabilized using foley's balloon catheter.
