To monitor the efficacy of C-Arm as a intraoperative tool in reduction of zygomatic complex fractures. 15 patients with isolated zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture, were selected for reduction of the same. C-Arm (image intensifier) images were taken intraoperatively. Standardization of all postoperative radiographs were done to evaluate the discrepancy in reduction. The maximum discrepancy after analysis of postoperative radiographs was within 2 mm, which was considered as acceptable limit. Thus, C-Arm is considered a useful tool for reduction of zygomatico-maxillary complex fractures with enhanced postoperative esthetics and functional results.
