This video documents the steps typically followed during open reduction of isolated, depressed zygomatic arch fractures. The patient’s hair was shaven for clarity and for proper marking of key anatomic landmarks. Such landmarks are shown and discussed in sequence with the key surgical steps.

Temporal (Gillies) Approach for Open Reduction of a Zygomatic Arch Fracture
(1) Depressed fractured zygomatic arch causing a cosmetic deformity
(2) Depressed fractured zygomatic arch causing mandibular hypomobility secondary to interference with the coronoid process
(1) Coexisting unstable or comminuted zygomatic body fractures requiring reconstruction of the arch to achieve proper projection and stability of the zygoma
N/A
Standard setup for midface procedures
(1) Evaluation for facial asymmetry secondary to flattening of the lateral midface
(2) Evaluation for the presence of additional fractures and mobility of the zygoma
(3) Assessment of mandibular mobility (mouth opening)
(4) Maxillofacial CAT scan
(1) Superior temporal line of the parietal bone
(2) Natural hairline
(3) Frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery
(4) Parietal branch of the superficial temporal artery
(1) Scar/ alopecia at the incision site
(2) Bleeding from injury to branches of the superficial temporal artery
(3) Nerve injury if instrumentation is conducted in a superficial plane
(4) Inadequate reduction due to fracture instability
(5) Over-correction resulting in a bowed/curved arch
