The behavior of the zygomatic arch fracture in the growth period was analyzed by means of cephalometric measurements. Medially displaced fracture of the right side was provoked in one-month-old rats. There was a tendency of the fractured arch to return to its original position, but with statistically significant differences as to the depth of the infratemporal fossa. However, there was no significant difference regarding the distance between zygomatic arch and mandible, which can be explained by the presence of significant deviation of the mandible.
