AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of rigid internal fixation using resorbable bone plates for treating zygomatic arch fractures through a modified preauricular-temporal approach.
- A total of twenty patients (ages 14-68) were analyzed, with most having unilateral comminuted fractures, and the procedure aimed to restore the arch's original form with minimal scarring.
- Results showed successful fracture reduction, no complications like limited mouth opening or facial palsy, and the resorbable plates were not noticeable one year post-surgery, indicating this method is effective for such fractures.
Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the rigid internal fixation for comminuted and redisplaced zygomatic arch fractures by modified preauricular-temporal approach with the resorbable bone fixation.
Methods: Totally twenty patients aged from 14 to 68 years and admitted to our hospital between September 2006 and June 2011 were reviewed, of whom seventeen had a unilateral comminuted zygomatic arch fracture and three re-displaced arch fracture after failed closed reduction. The fracture segments were aligned to restore the preinjury form of the arch by rigid fixation with resorbable plates and screws through a modified preauricular-temporal incision.
Results: The fractures were well reduced, preauricular-temporal scar and lateral facial contour were aesthetically satisfying, and no case had limited mouth opening as well as facial palsy. The resorbable plates were not palpated one year after the operation.
Conclusion: The rigid internal fixation through the preauricular-temporal approach with the resorbable bone is an effective method for the comminuted and redisplaced zygomatic arch fractures.

Purpose: This meta-analytical systematic review aims at investigating the variability of the pterion, focusing on its morphological types and precise distances from various bony landmarks. Additionally, the neurosurgical significance of this critical cranial landmark is examined in depth.
Methods: The systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 and Evidence-based Anatomy Workgroup guidelines for anatomical studies.

A 6-year-old castrated male mixed breed dog presented to the "Louisiana State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital &-anonymized for review" ophthalmology service with marked exophthalmos and lagophthalmos of the left eye and soft tissue swelling medial to the zygomatic arch. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, and it revealed a well-marginated, lobulated, homogenously fat density involving the retrobulbar space. Preliminary results of a fine-needle aspirate (FNA) and biopsy were not conclusive, and a modified transfrontal orbitotomy was performed to remove the mass.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that primarily originates from membranous bones. While most frequently documented in equines, OF has also been reported in other species, including dogs, though it remains uncommon. The condition poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its ambiguous presentation, often requiring differentiation from other benign and malignant intraosseous lesions.

Background: Botulinum toxin is an attenuated neurotoxin of Clostridium Botulinum gram positive bacterial, which is used in medication sialorrhea, cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis and non-surgical cosmetic operation (aesthetic) such as facial wrinkles and reduced the bulky appearance hypertrophied of masseter muscle. This study was designed to revealed the effect of zygomiticus inoculation of botulinum toxin B in zygomatic muscle of rats on zygomatic bone.
Methods: A total of 25 male albino rats (200-260 gm) were injected facial intramuscular by a single dose of 2.
