This study presents a virtual 3D reconstruction method for orbital floor defects. The technique uses mirroring and 3D printing to create precise titanium implants for optimal anatomical repair.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Reconstruction

Background:

  • Orbital floor reconstruction is crucial for primary and secondary orbital deformities.
  • Accurate anatomical restoration is essential for functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Existing methods may face challenges in complex or deep orbital cone defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel virtual 3D reconstruction technique for orbital floor defects.
  • To enable precise preoperative planning and intraoperative execution of orbital floor repair.
  • To improve the anatomical accuracy of orbital floor reconstruction, particularly in deep orbital cone involvement.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing patient-specific computed tomography (CT) data for virtual reconstruction.
Keywords:
