[Mini-plate osteosynthesis on the zygoma]

A method is described in which the principles of plate oseosynthesis at the zygoma are applied in the region of the zygomatico-frontal suture. A mini-plate in line with the spheric gliding principle of Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthese is applied at the zygomatico-frontal suture after repositioning by means of a hook. The miniature plate enables screwing of the fragments and stabilization of the zygoma with regard to the possible direction of dislocation.
