Case ReportsIntraoperative stereotactic navigation for reconstruction in zygomatic-orbital trauma.
Reconstruction of the maxillofacial skeleton after traumatic injury is not always straightforward because of its three dimensional complex anatomy and aesthetic significance. In case of zygomatic-orbital injury induced by trauma resulting in enophthalmos, the patient is affected on both function and cosmesis. ⋯ Navigation-guided open reduction of a zygomatic-orbital complex fractures with orbital floor reconstruction can be regarded as a valuable treatment option for this potentially complicated procedure. This case demonstrated the use of the non-ionizing, noncontact, navigation system in intraoperative procedure and clinical monitoring to identify the correct position and symmetry in complex orbital floor reconstruction.
