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.
