Comminuted zygomatic arch fractures are a challenge to manage without complete exposure owing to their instability. The presence of facial nerve branches near the bone often means that these fractures are often treated by closed methods or left untreated. The disadvantages of such comminuted fracture left untreated cannot be overemphasised. Hence, there is a need of a surgical approach for exposure and fixation of such fractures without limitation of facial nerve injury. We propose and report a case of malunited comminuted fracture of zygomatic arch using facelift approach.
粉碎性颧骨骨折由于其不稳定性，在没有完全暴露的情况下进行处理具有挑战性。面神经分支靠近骨骼的存在通常意味着这些骨折通常通过闭合方法治疗或不治疗。未治疗的此类粉碎性骨折的缺点怎么强调都不为过。因此，需要有一种手术方法来暴露和固定这些骨折，而不会对面神经损伤造成限制。我们提出并报告了一例使用面部提升入路治疗的颧骨粉碎性骨折畸形愈合病例。
