Abstract
Zygomatic arch fractures occur due to a direct injury to the lateral aspect of the head. When there are multiple fractures of the arch, open reduction and internal fixation is indicated. Conventionally hemi-coronal and pre-auricular incisions are placed to approach the arch. A modified temporal incision has been described. Open reduction and internal fixation of zygomatic arch fractures has been done.Entities:
