The bones of the inner wall and of the nasal processes may be replaced by manipulation (through the nasal passages) with the flat nasal probe and held in place by nasal tampons. The treatment is usually combined with that of fracture of the nasal bones. Fracture of the zygoma may extend into, and a piece of bone penetrate the maxillary antrum. This dislocation may be replaced by a forefinger of one hand in the patient's mouth, well behind the zygoma, and the splinter raised into place, the head being steadied by the operator 's otl1er hand. If this is not possible a strong resection-hook is passed around the zygoma at the nasal process and by it the bone' is pushed into place.
