    Author: Chang EL, Hatton MP, Bernardino CR, Rubin PA.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 2005 Jul; 112(7):1302-9. PubMed ID: 15921754.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe a simplified technique of zygomatic fracture repair. DESIGN: Retrospective, noncomparative case series with description of a surgical technique. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty consecutive patients with zygomatic fractures undergoing repair with the described technique. INTERVENTION: Fracture repair was accomplished with a technique that used a T-bar screw for reduction through a transconjunctival approach. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Successful fracture reduction. RESULTS: Twenty patients with zygomatic fractures underwent successful reduction with the simplified technique. No complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the T-bar through a transconjunctival approach is a simplified and effective technique for zygomatic fracture repair.
