Evaluating Mixed Reality as a Tool for Patient Education of Facial Fractures.

Patients may be educated about facial fractures using two-dimensional computed tomography (2DCT); however, three-dimensional mixed reality (3DMR) goggles may improve patient education by delivering content in an immersive environment. To compare the effectiveness of 2DCT and 3DMR formats used for patient education on facial fractures, as measured by surveys. In this prospective, randomized, crossover study, video tutorials intended for facial fracture informed consent were created in 2DCT and 3DMR formats from a single CT data set of a zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture.
