Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Sutures of the Skull

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Biomaterials Science

Background:

Medial orbital wall fractures can be isolated or part of complex maxillofacial injuries.
These fractures often lead to an increased orbital volume, potentially causing enophthalmos (sunken eye).

Observation:

Surgical intervention decisions for medial orbital wall fractures depend on motility restrictions, enophthalmos severity, fracture size, and surgeon's judgment.
Untreated fractures may result in secondary enophthalmos, impacting patient aesthetics and function.

Findings:

Deantigenated swine bone cortex was utilized for reconstructing medial orbital wall defects.
The study details the experience and outcomes of using this specific biomaterial.

Implications:

This research offers insights into novel biomaterials for orbital fracture repair.
Effective reconstruction of the medial orbital wall is crucial for restoring orbital volume and preventing complications like enophthalmos.
