A fracture of the zygomatic arch often involves the temporalis muscle. The temporalis muscle inserts onto the coronoid process of the mandible. Entrapment or impingement of the temporalis muscle and its tendon under the depressed fractured zygomatic arch can mechanically restrict the movement of the coronoid process, leading to limited mouth opening.
