The pursuit of techniques that offer adequate visualization of the interested area associated with low morbidity has been responsible for the development of new techniques and materials. The better approach still remains with a lot of controversy among different authors. However, the transconjunctival incision can be considered in access fractures of the zygomatic-orbital complex. The purpose of this study is report a case of performing transconjunctival approach associated with lateral canthotomy to treatment of zygomatic-orbital complex fractures caused by sports trauma of a 34 years-old male patient.
