Abstract
The authors describe a simple technique for reducing zygomatic arch fractures with a towel clip. The orbital rim and zygomatic arch are outlined with a marking pen. The exact fracture site is then marked by palpation. The depressed fracture site is held with a towel clip and pulled outward gently. A clicking noise may be heard. The clip is then released. The contour of the zygomatic arch is compared with the other side. Using this technique the authors reduced 11 fractured zygomatic arches (arch only, displaced medially) in 11 patients and the results were satisfactory in all patients. The towel clip method is one procedure to reduce zygomatic arch fracture.
