How accurate is the treatment of midfacial fractures by a specific navigation system integrating "mirroring" computational planning? Beyond mere average difference analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of a specific navigation system integrating "mirroring" computational planning in the treatment of midfacial fractures by comparing planned with actual postoperative 3-dimensional (3D) images.

Patients And Methods: Preoperative planned and postoperative 3D computed tomographic (CT) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) images of 20 patients with midfacial fractures were analyzed. Images were fused using dedicated software (iPlan Cranial 2.
