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.
