ABSTRACT
Orbital fractures, constituting 10-25% of facial traumas, result from diverse mechanisms such as traffic accidents and assaults. These fractures present with characteristic symptoms like edema, diplopia, and infraorbital paraesthesia. Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention are paramount to mitigate long-term complications. Recent advancements in materials science and surgical methodologies have ushered in innovative approaches including 3D printing and computer-aided design implants. This article details a case study of successful reconstructive orbital surgery in a patient following a traumatic incident where a car accident caused extensive facial fractures. Leveraging 3D printing technology, a precisely tailored titanium mesh aided in the meticulous restoration of the orbital floor. During surgery, entrapped soft tissues were released, and the zygomatic-maxillary complex was carefully repositioned. Postoperative evaluation revealed promising outcomes, affirming the efficacy of contemporary surgical strategies. This case highlights the evolving role of 3D printing in enhancing the accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility of orbital reconstruction procedures, demonstrating its potential for broader clinical applications.
