    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of sphenzygomatic suture as a guide in the reduction of zygomatic complex fracture. METHODS: 55 cases of zygomatic complex fracture classified according to Zingg classification were treated, sphenozygomatic suture in group 1 (n = 36) was reduced first, then the other fracture line was reduced, in group 2 (n = 19), malar bone was reduced according to superficial fracture line. Patients were followed up for 4 weeks to 3 months, aesthetic result and X-ray symmetry were observed. RESULTS: All patients in group 1 were restored with satisfactory facial contour, 35 cases got precise reduction, 5 cases in group 2 were asymmetry. CONCLUSION: During open reduction of complex zygomatic fracture, sphenozygomatic suture should be reduced at first as a guide, so as to get precise zygomatic complex reconstruction and normal aesthetic outcome.
