Reduction and fixation of zygomatic complex fractures using a simple external device

Abstract

We described a suspension techniques to correct zygomatic fractures using the external device. Our technique caused no scar formation, and both traction and fixation were possible. The device is easy to construct and cost-effective. Fractured segments can be readjusted, if necessary. Although our technique has a narrow indication range, it has definite advantages in the case of fractures such as type A fracture with maxillary buttress fractures.
