[Radiographic technic for the individual visualization of fractures of the zygomatic arch].

Fractures of the zygomatic arch may be in valgum or in varum, and are isolated or associated with facial bone fractures according to the point of impact. An extracranial image can be obtained by a modified Hirtz projection (ascending beam of 15 to 25 degrees entering between the two gonions, the receptor plane lying parallel to the orbitomeatal plane). Their outlines and the rupture points can thus be demonstrated, and a comparison made with the opposite side. This type of projection can be performed in the operating room.

[The greatest horizontal contour-line of the face. Meeting of anthropology and maxillofacial surgery (author's transl)].

The greatest horizontal contour-line of the face is convex, passes through the malar bone and the external side of the zygomatic arch, and can be defined as the geometric connection of the facial points most distant from the median plane. The study of this facial line of greatest contour is particularly important in the case of fractures of the malar and zygomatic arch. The roentgenography of this line is done with an x-ray plate held parallel to the Reid line (orbital meatus) and the principal ascending radius passing through the middle of the line which connects the two gonions. This technique leads to extreme accuracy in the reduction of zygomato-malar fractures. The method can be used in the operating room.

[Reproduction of cephalometric films with a soft-tissue outline].

The authors present a description of a radio-photographic technique aimed at providing on the same film a detailed picture of the skeleton together with sufficiently clear reproduction of the contours of soft tissue. This technique, the result of which resembles Xerography, provides a simple means of obtaining reproduction of bony structures and their relations with soft tissues.
