Although most facial fractures can be well managed with open reduction and direct wiring of the fracture sites, this treatment is inadequate for some comminuted fractures and further fixation is required. At Charity Hospital in New Orleans transverse Kirschner wires have been routinely used to stabilize the zygoma in these cases. Although this technic has been described previously, its indications, advantages, and limitations are not widely appreciated. Eight recent cases are presented to demonstrate the technic, and alternative methods of treatment are discussed.
尽管大多数面部骨折通过切开复位和骨折部位直接钢丝固定能得到很好的处理，但这种治疗方法对一些粉碎性骨折并不适用，还需要进一步固定。在新奥尔良慈善医院，对于这些病例，通常使用横向克氏针来稳定颧骨。尽管这种技术之前已有描述，但其适应证、优点及局限性并未得到广泛认识。本文介绍了近期的8个病例以展示该技术，并讨论了其他治疗方法。
