Prototyping for the treatment of late zygomatic-orbital fracture: A case report

Abstract: HighlightsPrototyping is efficient for surgical zygomatic-orbital correction.The use of preshaped titanium plates reduces operative time and improves esthetics.Prototyping provides a better outcome for the patient than conventional surgery.

“…Fractures of the zygomatic-orbital complex (ZOC) are highly frequent, resulting mainly from traffic accidents, physical aggression, and sports activities 1 . The surgical treatment of ZOC fractures warrants particular attention due to the complex anatomy and possible involvement of other structures of the middle third of the face 2,3 . Bone fracture reduction and fixation with titanium plates is challenging due to the restricted surgical access and the anatomy of the orbital region, which hinders the modeling process of the fixation plates 3 .…”

“…The difficulty in ensuring the same anatomic position as prior to the trauma increases the risk of esthetic and functional problems, such as enophthalmos, diplopia (double vision), limited mouth opening, and facial asymmetry 2 . It is therefore necessary to restore the anatomy as it was prior to the trauma in order to recover function and esthetics 1,4,5 .…”
