“…In particular, many surgeons find the 3-D reformations to be critical in their preoperative planning [13,15,21,39,41,[44][45][46]. CT allows for a faster acquisition time than other modalities such as radiography and MRI.…”

“…Also, CT offers multiplanar and 3-D image reconstructions, allowing for better characterization of complex fractures. In particular, many surgeons find the 3-D reformations afforded by CT to be critical in their preoperative planning [13,15,21,39,41,[44][45][46]. In complex nasal injuries and other associated facial fractures, CT can fully characterize the extent of injuries and detect any additional facial injuries [30].…”

We introduce a novel computer-based method to digitally fixate midfacial fractures to facilitate more efficient intraoperative fixation. This article aims to describe a novel computer-based algorithm that can be utilized to model midface fracture reduction and fixation and to evaluate the algorithm's ability to produce images similar to true postoperative images. This is a retrospective review combined with cross-sectional survey from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2015. This study was performed at a single tertiary care, level-I trauma center. Ten patients presenting with acute midfacial traumatic fractures were evaluated. Thirty-five physicians were surveyed regarding the accuracy of the images obtained using the algorithm. A computer algorithm utilizing AquariusNet (TeraRecon, Inc., Foster City, CA) and Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA) was developed to model midface fracture repair. Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomographic (CT) images were processed using the algorithm. Fractures were virtually reduced and fixated to generate a virtual postoperative image. A survey comparing the virtual postoperative and the actual postoperative images was produced. A Likert-type scale rating system of 0 to 10 (0 being completely different and 10 being identical) was utilized. Survey participants evaluated the similarity of fracture reduction and fixation plate appearance. The algorithm's capacity for future clinical utility was also assessed. Survey response results from 35 physicians were collected and analyzed to determine the accuracy of the algorithm. Ten patients were evaluated. Fracture types included zygomaticomaxillary complex, LeFort, and naso-orbito-ethmoidal complex. Thirty-four images were assessed by a group of 35 physicians from the fields of otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and radiology. Mean response for fracture reduction similarity was 7.8 ± 2.5 and fixation plate similarity was 8.3 ± 1.9. All respondents reported interest in the tool for clinical use. This computer-based algorithm is able to produce virtual images that resemble actual postoperative images. It has the ability to model midface fracture repair and hardware placement.

Purpose of review This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the established and emerging applications of various computer-based technologies and smartphone applications in the field of facial plastic surgery. Recent findings Computer-based technologies and smartphone applications have widespread utility across various domains of facial plastic surgery; these include preoperative consultation, surgical planning, intraoperative navigation, custom implant creation, postoperative assessment, physician productivity, communication, and education. Smartphone applications are being utilized for assessment of patients such as those with facial paralysis. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging and 3D printing has influenced preoperative counseling, surgical planning, and execution. The incorporation of intraoperative navigation has the potential to improve the accuracy and precision of facial reconstruction. Summary Current advances in computer-based technology have made a significant impact on the practice of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. These technological advances have influenced how we counsel patients, perform procedures, assess outcomes, and learn new techniques.
