To describe and evaluate transsinus reduction and one-point miniplate fixation of the zygomaticomaxillary buttress for the treatment of tripod malar fractures. ⋯ This technique is simple, limited, and successful in treating most malar fractures. The lack of comminution of the orbital rim is crucial for the stability of the reduced zygoma. A simple and clinically relevant classification of malar fractures is proposed.
