“…Anatomage tables have been integrated into gross anatomy courses and their impact on students’ learning and perception has been demonstrated (Dahl and Simonsen, ; Eickmeyer et al, ; Lewandowski et al, ; Brown et al, ; Chung et al, ; Hutchins, ), even suggested as a replacement for cadavers in dissection courses (Fyfe et al, ; Anand and Singel, ; Fyfe et al, ), and for radiology education (Custer and Michael, ; Paech et al, ). Recently, the Anatomage was used in a clinical setting for planning of maxillofacial surgery (Brucoli et al, ). Anatomage is operated using touch input and allows users to interactively control a life‐sized, realistic visualization of the 3D human anatomy.…”

Early exposure to radiological cross‐section images during introductory anatomy and dissection courses increases students’ understanding of both anatomy and radiology. Novel technologies such as augmented reality (AR) offer unique advantages for an interactive and hands‐on integration with the student at the center of the learning experience. In this article, the benefits of a previously proposed AR Magic Mirror system are compared to the Anatomage, a virtual dissection table as a system for combined anatomy and radiology teaching during a two‐semester gross anatomy course with 749 first‐year medical students, as well as a follow‐up elective course with 72 students. During the former, students worked with both systems in dedicated tutorial sessions which accompanied the anatomy lectures and provided survey‐based feedback. In the elective course, participants were assigned to three groups and underwent a self‐directed learning session using either Anatomage, Magic Mirror, or traditional radiology atlases. A pre‐ and posttest design with multiple choice questions revealed significant improvements in test scores between the two tests for both the Magic Mirror and the group using radiology atlases, while no significant differences in test scores were recorded for the Anatomage group. Furthermore, especially students with low mental rotation test (MRT) scores benefited from the Magic Mirror and Anatomage and achieved significantly higher posttest scores compared to students with a low MRT score in the theory group. Overall, the results provide supporting evidence that the Magic Mirror system achieves comparable results in terms of learning outcome to established anatomy learning tools such as Anatomage and radiology atlases.

“…Management of maxillofacial trauma in the geriatric population poses a great challenge due to anatomical variations and medical comorbidities . Moreover, the frequency of old patients sustaining craniofacial trauma due to an increase in the aging population is leading to a progressive increase of importance of this topic in clinical maxillofacial practice …”

“…Various implant materials have been used for orbital fracture repairs, such as autologous bone grafts (24,25), porous polyethylene (26,27), polydioxanone (28,29), bioresorbable polylactide plates (30,31), silicone (32,33), smooth nylon foil (34,35), and titanium mesh (36,37). However, it is still controversial to figure out the ideal implant materials and methods for orbital floor and medial wall fracture repairment (38).…”

Repair of unilateral combined orbital floor and medial wall fracture using two titanium mesh plates: a modified technique

Background: Compared to isolated orbital wall fracture, combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures are more likely to be required surgical correction due to a higher possibility of complications. However, it remains a challenge to repair concomitant orbital fracture using a one-piece implant due to the complex anatomic structures of the orbit. Aiming to reduce surgical difficulties and enhance therapeutic effects, we repaired unilateral combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures using two separated modified titanium mesh plates in this study.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 21 consecutive patients who presented with unilateral combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between November 2010 and January 2016. The orbital fractures were repaired with two separated titanium mesh plates. The corner at the transition zone area between the orbital floor and the medial wall was reconstructed simultaneously through a combined transcaruncular and inferior subciliary approach with lateral canthotomy.The pre-and post-operative functions and aesthetic results were evaluated.Results: Preoperatively, all patients presented with 3.5-6.5 mm enophthalmos, five patients presented with diplopia with ocular motility limitation in injured eyes, and six patients presented with hypoglobus ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 mm. Orbital floor and medial wall fractures of all patients were successfully repaired with two separated titanium mesh plates. Postoperatively, enophthalmos was improved in all patients, which was less than 2 mm on the last follow-up day. Hypoglobus was disappeared in all six patients postoperatively. Diplopia was resolved in five patients within 3 months post operation, and was reduced in one patient.Conclusions: In cases of unilateral concomitant orbital floor and medial wall fractures, two titanium mesh plates implantation is a safe and effective procedure. It is worthwhile to take the technique into account when the key points to consider when applying this method include reconstruction of the special orbital shape and the complete return reposition of prolapsed intraorbital soft tissues were intended.
