Procedure Details

This is a 29 year-old male who was struck on the right side of his face sustaining a right zygomatic arch fracture as seen on the CT scan. The patient was unable to completely open his jaw and had pain when opening (trismus). The patient had surgery to reduce the fracture fragments using a temporal scalp incision. This restored his cheek projection and eliminated his pain with opening his jaw.
