A method for the reduction of malar bone fractures by the use of antral balloon technic is suggested.
It seems to us that this method is a simple one without severe complications and is superior to other methods, especially for fractures of the maxillary sinus with many bone fragments.
We demonstrate three typical cases of malar bone fracture treated by this method, and describe our goals and method of treatment of this fracuture.
