Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Medical Imaging and Simulation

Background:

  • Midface fractures, particularly orbitozygomatic trauma, present significant surgical challenges.
  • Conventional treatments often require extensive surgical access and may necessitate hardware removal.
  • Restoring both facial morphology and biological function is crucial for optimal patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new surgical approach for treating midface fractures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of using resorbable materials and stereolithographic models in surgical repair.
  • To improve outcomes for both primary and secondary treatments of complex facial fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized stereolithographic models created from patient scans to pre-contour resorbable plates and meshes.
  • Employed pre-contoured resorbable implants as guides for bony reduction during surgery.
  • Treated 10 cases of orbitozygomatic trauma between 2009 and 2014, primarily as secondary surgeries.

Main Results:

  • All 10 patients achieved successful healing without complications or inflammatory reactions.
  • Surgical outcomes closely matched the pre-operative simulations based on stereolithographic models.
  • The technique facilitated precise bony segment reduction and fixation.

Conclusions:

  • The combined use of stereolithographic models and resorbable materials offers a beneficial new surgical approach for midface fractures.
  • This technique minimizes surgical invasiveness, reduces scarring, and preserves maxillofacial skeleton physiology.
  • It effectively addresses the complexities of bony segment displacement and restores both form and function.
