Abstract:

Zygomatic fracture is one of the most common mid-facial fractures. Zygomatic fracture often leads to openmouth and chewing dysfunctions, which are often associated with pronounced zygomatic facial deformity, causing psychological and physiological problems in patients. The complicated anatomical structures associated with zygomatic fracture often make treatment difficult. Surgical navigation technology provides a new auxiliary method for improving the treatment results for zygomatic fracture. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of surgical navigation technology in the treatment of zygomatic fracture.

Key words: surgical navigation technology, zygomatic fracture, navigation system
