Zygomatic Arch Reduction

Brief summary

To compare between ultrasound guided closed reduction and open reduction of zygomatic arch in cases of zygomaticomaxillary fracture. To evaluate the role of intra-operative ultrasound during zygomatic arch reduction. To compare between esthetic appearance, orbital movement, wound healing, scaring, and postoperative ocular complications in both groups.
