We present 21 surgical cases of malar bone fracture at our hospital between 1994 and 2005. Results showed a male predominance by 2.5 to 1 and the mean age of 45 years old. Arch fractureswere found in 12 cases, and body fractures were found in nine cases. Ten cases were complicated bymaxillary fractures. Patients with arch fractures were approached with a Gilles's temporal incision, intraoral incision, or direct incision on the arch. Patients with body fractures were approached witha lateral eyebrow incision, lower eyelid incision, intraoral incision, and/or direct incision on the arch.Titan plates were used for rigid fixation in 11 cases. For surgery, physicians should try to make smaller and fewer skin incisions for aesthetic satisfaction.
