Preoperative Use of Radiopaque Materials on Fractured Zygomatic Arch.
Fractures of the zygoma are relatively frequent and their management has been extensively described. Above all, isolated zygomatic arch fractures comprise about 10% of all zygomatic fractures. Temporal approach is common surgical method, Gillies approach, but it has the limitation of blinded surgical approach. So, the mobile intraoperative fluoroscan is used famously for more suitable reduction, but it needs an additional man to control the machine and increases irradiation doses. The authors got the simple idea, but so helpful tool, and it has been performed since 2012. The authors have gotten good surgical results, so introduce this idea that favors the surgery on isolated zygomatic arch fracture.
