Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically, radiographically the validity of using Two-point fixation in the management of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex fractures. Methods: The clinical study was conducted on twenty patients had unilateral zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture. Preoperative and Postoperative clinical follow up after 1-week and 1-month was done to all patients for these parameters: vertical orbital dystopia, limitation in mouth opening, diplopia, enophthalmos, limitation of eye movement, sensory disturbance, fracture instability and infection at surgical site. Also, preoperative, and postoperative radiological assessment was done to all patients for these parameters: malar width, malar projection, malar height and, malar asymmetry. Result: improvement in all clinical parameters and decreased the asymmetry index significantly postoperatively by 1 week and 1 month by using the 2-point fixation technique. Conclusion: Stable fixation result and adequate esthetic outcome can be obtained by using 2-point fixation technique in ZMC fractures
