The fingers touch theinferior borders, the thumbs the posterior borders, of the malar bones. unrecognized as is this one it is important to be very familiar withthe details of the outline of the bone. Symptoms.—Fracture of the malar bone is caused by a severeblow upon the cheek. It is rather unusual to find a fracture ofthe body of the bone. More often there is a fracture of one of itsprocesses, the line of fracture being continuous with a fracture ofsome adjoining bone. The malar is depressed as a whole, or tiltedinward toward the zygomatic fossa because of a loosening of Oneor more of its articulations or because of a fracture or crushingof the superior maxilla. The deformity consists of a depressionto the outer side of and below the eye. The line of fracture orseparation can sometimes be palpated. Mobility and crepitusare rarely obtained.
