Evaluation of the Application of Computer-Aided Shape-Adapted Fabricated Titanium Mesh for Mirroring-Reconstructing Orbital Walls in Cases of Late Post-Traumatic Enophthalmos

Does intraoperative navigation restore orbital dimensions in traumatic and post-ablative defects?

“…The results of this study validate those of others that intraoperative navigation orbital reconstruction is effective in restoring orbital and globe dimensions in post-traumatic defects (Gellrich et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2010). The results of this study extend the use of intraoperative navigation to not only subjects with posttraumatic, but with post-ablative defects as well.…”

3D modeling, custom implants and its future perspectives in craniofacial surgery

“…Reconstruction of the orbital wall by mirroring data from the normal side has been described by several authors. [50515253] A methodology for computer assisted surgical planning and custom titanium plates and mesh for midfacial reconstruction. 3D printed models have been used as a template to presurgically adapt a titanium mesh or plate to precisely fit the defects of the orbital wall a procedure that helps to reduce surgical time.…”

The Results of Balanced Orbital Volume Increase Surgery With Porous Polyethylene (Medpor) Implants After Post-Traumatic Enophthalmos: Case Reports

“…A study on late-onset post-traumatic enophthalmos reports a 65% increase in the orbital volume and a treatment rate of 50% in severe enophthalmos cases by using custom designed titanium mesh implants created with computerized tomography (CT) images of the patients. On the other hand, the need for an additional correction for increase in orbital ingredients is indicated in the study [7].…”
