Abstract:
Adopting digital workflows in orbital reconstruction enhances surgical precision, minimizes complications, and improves patient outcomes postoperatively. Personalized orbital implants (POIs), tailored to each patient's specific anatomy, offer superior functional and esthetic restoration compared with traditional stock implants. However, widespread adoption of POI is limited by high costs, low-resource settings, untrained personnel, and regulatory concerns, underscoring the continued necessity of traditional methods. This article provides insight into POI in orbital reconstruction, covering key advancements in digital planning, biomaterials, surgical techniques, and strategies for balancing technological innovations with clinical validation.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
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 procedure...
