Purpose: To explore the application of lateral brow incision by the guide of sphenozygomatic suture for zygomatic complex fracture.
Methods: Lateral brow incision combined with intraoral vestibule incision and below cilia incision were applied in 26 patients who had Zingg's type B and C zygomatic complex fracture,through which the fracture lines around the forehead and zygomatic suture, sphenozygomatic suture, suborbital edge, zygomatic maxillary suture, zygomatic temporal suture, zygoma- alveolar column were exposed. After accurate reduction by the guide of sphenozygomatic suture, rigid fixation by titanium plates was performed.
