Abstract
Reconstructive goals for orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex fractures include restoration of orbital volume, facial projection, and facial width. Delayed reconstruction is made more difficult by malunion, nonunion, bony absorption, loss of the soft tissue envelope, and scar. Three-dimensional intraoperative navigation, widely used in neurosurgery and sinus surgery, can improve the accuracy with which bony reduction is performed. This is particularly useful in the setting of bony absorption and comminution. We report a case of delayed reconstruction of an orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex fracture using intraoperative navigation and review this technology's utility in this setting.Entities:
