Single-Step Primary Reconstruction After Complex Fronto-Orbital Brown Tumor Resection Using Computed-Designed Peek Implant

Abstract

The authors describe a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) who had development of a brown tumors (BTs) of the superior orbit and frontal calvarium with subsequent visual impairment. One-step surgery involving wide en-bloc resection of the entire tumor and immediate fronto-orbital reconstruction with a custom-made polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant was planned. Using a PEEK implant a one-step reconstruction of the fronto-orbital region was achieved obtaining symmetry and good functional results, reducing operative time and avoiding donor site morbidity.
