Summary
This study evaluated an ordered surgery method for Le Fort III fractures. The technique effectively reduced orbital volumes, demonstrating its safety and efficacy in orbital reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Maxillofacial surgery
- Ophthalmology
- Plastic surgery
Background:
- Quantitative data on surgical outcomes for Le Fort III fractures are limited.
- An ordered surgery method for Le Fort III fractures has been previously proposed by the authors.
- This study aims to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of this ordered surgery method.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an ordered surgery method for Le Fort III fractures.
- To provide quantitative outcomes regarding orbital reconstruction in Le Fort III fractures.
- To assess the safety and efficacy of the proposed surgical technique.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective study of patients with Le Fort III fractures (January 2015 - June 2019).
- Surgical reconstruction performed using an ordered surgery method.
- Orbital volumes measured pre- and post-operatively to assess reconstruction effectiveness.
Main Results:
- Fifteen patients (21 eyes) with Le Fort III fractures were analyzed.
- Statistically significant reduction in orbital volumes post-surgery (P <0.01).
- Orbital volumes became comparable between eyes in unilateral and bilateral cases after surgery (P=0.35).
Conclusions:
- The ordered surgery method is effective and safe for treating Le Fort III fractures.
- This technique leads to a significant decrease in orbital volumes.
- Quantitative assessment supports the utility of this surgical approach.

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.5K
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...
