Implant-oriented navigation approach in orbital reconstruction

Intraoperative stereotactic navigation for reconstruction in zygomatic-orbital trauma.

Reconstruction of the maxillofacial skeleton after traumatic injury is not always straightforward because of its three dimensional complex anatomy and aesthetic significance. In case of zygomatic-orbital injury induced by trauma resulting in enophthalmos, the patient is affected on both function and cosmesis. To prevent diplopia or conspicuous asymmetry, exact correction of the orbital symmetry...
