title: [Coronal approach of zygoma and direct osteosynthesis in post-traumatic dysmorphic sequelae].
abstract: A direct approach to the zygomatic arch can be a useful alternative for primary or secondary deformities in which simple well known technics are ineffective. This approach is very limited because of the anatomical elements located directly over the zygomatic region. The exposure of the fracture site is performed by an unusual surgical approach which allows visualization of both zygomatic arches simultaneously, to correct all deformities and to perform osteosynthesis. Four cases using this technique are reported and the value of this approach is assessed.
