Reduction and fixation of malar complex fractures has been emphasized and re-emphasized. Simple methods of reduction for complicated fractures are still advocated with clinically poor results. The necessity for a three point fixation and overcorrection for the complex fracture is emphasized. While it is true that simple fractures may be reduced by simple techniques, these simple methods cannot be applied to more comminuted fractures.
