Ultrasonographic evaluation during reduction of zygomatic arch fractures.
Ultrasonography was utilized in three cases of zygomatic arch fracture to confirm the position of the fragments during surgery. Ultrasonography revealed the nature of the fracture clearly and real-time imaging aided its reduction. Accordingly, ultrasonography is considered to be useful to confirm the position of fragments of the zygomatic arch during reduction.
