  • Title: Intraoral approach to zygomatic fracture: modified technique for infraorbital rim fixation.
    Author: de Souza Carvalho AC, Pereira CC, Queiroz TP, Magro-Filho O.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2012 Mar; 23(2):537-8. PubMed ID: 22421848.
    Abstract:
    The intraoral approach to zygomatic fracture treatment was introduced by Keen in 1909. This technique allows both an adequate visualization of the zygomaticomaxillary buttress and intraoral reduction of zygomatic arch fractures. Similar techniques have been published over the last 30 years. The aim of this study was to describe a modification of the Keen technique that promotes adequate visualization of the infraorbital rim and permits reduction and fixation of this region in cases of zygomatic fractures. The present technique has several advantages such as that (a) only 1 incision is necessary to approach the zygomaticomaxillary buttress and infraorbital rim, (b) it optimizes surgical time, and (c) it avoids periorbital scars.
