Simplified repair of zygomatic fractures through a transconjunctival approach.

OBJECTIVE

To describe a simplified technique of zygomatic fracture repair.

DESIGN

Retrospective, noncomparative case series with description of a surgical technique.

PARTICIPANTS

Twenty consecutive patients with zygomatic fractures undergoing repair with the described technique.

INTERVENTION: Fracture repair was accomplished with a technique that used a T-bar screw for reduction through a transconjunctival approach.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Successful fracture reduction.

RESULTS

Twenty patients with zygomatic fractures underwent successful reduction with the simplified technique. No complications were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of the T-bar through a transconjunctival approach is a simplified and effective technique for zygomatic fracture repair.
