Methods: In this clinical report, the authors suggest intraoperative surgical navigation systems are useful diagnostically and for localizing sites of zygomatic arch fractures. Results: The patient underwent successful closed reduction of zygomatic arch fractures using a surgical navigation system. Conclusions: Surgical navigation is a useful tool for identifying the locations of zygomatic arch fractures and for guiding closed reduction. Surgical navigation is recommended for localizing the sites of zygomatic fractures. (C) 2017 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.
