CT parameters in orbital wall fractures, choice of treatment, and patient outcome

3 November 2022 | | Head and Neck | X-ray computed tomography, conservative treatment, decision support techniques, orbital fractures, reconstructive surgical procedures

This review from the Netherlands attempts to evaluate the relationship between CT parameters and the treatment that is used in clinical outcome (enophthalmos, diplopia and/or limitation in ocular movement). The authors look at fracture size, fracture location and involvement of...

Approach to the orbital floor: which is better?

1 January 2018 | Orbital floor, Periorbital fractures, Subciliary approach, Transconjunctival approach

Mirror image orbital implants in enopthalmus

1 November 2016 | | diplopia, enophthalmos, orbital customized implant, orbital fractures, patient-specific implant, post-traumatic orbital deformities

This is a review from Chile of five patients who underwent surgery utilising customised implants. Two methods to make the titanium implants were used between the five patients. All patients had diplopia in the gaze position prior to implant placement....
