The zygomatic arch, formed by contributions from the temporal bone and the zygoma, plays a pivotal role in both the midface structural integrity and aesthetic appearance. Understanding this arch’s intricate anatomical and functional aspects is crucial in effectively addressing zygomatic arch fractures—a common facial injury with the potential to result in both cosmetic and functional deformities. Zygomatic arch fractures, often the second most frequent facial fractures following nasal bone fractures, will be the focal point of this educational activity.Learners gain insights into the diverse spectrum of management options for zygomatic arch fractures, ranging from conservative observation to the advanced technique of open reduction with internal fixation. The course explores the critical aspects of evaluating patients who present with these fractures, shedding light on the invaluable role of an interprofessional healthcare team in enhancing the care provided to such patients.
