Use of 3D-printed model to plan the surgical management of a patient with isolated orbital floor fracture: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Orbital floor fractures typically manifest as eyeball mobility disorders with double vision (diplopia), enophthalmia, and infraorbital paresis. Surgical treatment of these fractures involves orbital floor reconstruction. The procedure involves freeing the trapped tissues from the lumen of the maxillary sinus and rebuilding the orbital floor. Technological progress in the field of three-dimensional (3D) printing allows physical prototyping of the implants to be used during the procedure.

Case description

A 43-year-old female patient presented to the hospital with diplopia, which first occurred after a fall from own height. Examinations, including a computed tomography (CT) confirmed the diagnosis of an orbital floor fracture. 3D printing was used to plan the surgic
