Zygomatic (supraorbital) process fracture of the horse is a common injury; if untreated, permanent injury to the eye or an undesirable cosmetic appearance may result. A noninvasive surgical reduction technique is described that requires minimal instrumentation and can easily be performed in a surgical facility or under field conditions. This technique has resulted in successful reduction and healing in 12 of 13 cases of zygomatic process fractures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
