In this study, a new method was proposed to calculate the length of sideburns mini incision for zygomatic arch fracture. The purpose of this study was to compare the sideburns mini incision calculated by this method with the coronal scalp incision, so as to determine the therapeutic effect and advantages of sideburns mini incision calculated by this method.

Eighty patients with zygomatic arch fracture were treated with surgical intervention. Forty patients were treated with sideburns mini incision, and the other forty patients were treated with coronal scalp incision. Data such as incision length, operation time and postoperative complications were recorded. The follow-up periods were 6 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical and imaging diagnosis of zygomatic arch fracture or zygomatic maxillary complex fracture.
2. Fracture fragments are obviously displaced, which affects the appearance and function of the patient. Simple prying is instable and requires open reduction and internal fixation.
3. No previous surgical treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Accompanied by multiple fractures of mandible, nasal bone and so on.
2. There are traumatic scars in the operation area, which can be accessed through the original wound.
3. History of bone disease and / or wound healing disorders.
