Effective management of naso orbito ethmoidal fractures involves both functional and esthetic correction. While functional correction is routinely achieved, in our experience, most secondary deformities resulted from inadequate nasal bridge projection. We hereby suggest a simple technique to stabilize the nasal bridge after mild overcorrection thereby improving the esthetic outcome in naso orbito ethmoidal fractures.

Introduction: Maxillofacial injuries are usually associated with ophthalmic injuries that may be mild to severe, and may even result in loss of integrity of the orbital skeleton and impairment of the visual apparatus.
Aim: To evaluate the pattern of ophthalmic injuries associated with maxillofacial fractures in patients who reported to a tertiary care hospital, associated with a medical college in M.P, India.

Study Design: A retrospective study.
Objective: The Markowitz-Manson classification system categorizes nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures by severity of injury and remaining integrity of the medial canthal tendon. However, this system does not account for direction of bony displacement (in-fracture vs out-fracture), which can greatly affect symptomatology and management.

Article Synopsis
- Late secondary reconstruction may be necessary for patients who had poor initial repairs of panfacial fractures, making it tough to see the original facial structure due to healing issues.
- Surgeons can use virtual reality (VR) combined with original CT scans to recreate an ideal facial structure and plan surgery accordingly.
- Two patients underwent successful surgeries using this method, with custom guides and implants to correct their facial deformities and achieve desired aesthetic results.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, King Khalid University College of Dentistry, Abha, KSA.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares four fixation methods for managing naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) fractures: plate and screw fixation, K-wire fixation, absorbable plate fixation, and no fixation, analyzed through various assessment tools.
- Results indicated that plate and screw fixation provided the best stability and cosmetic outcomes, while conservative treatment had the poorest results and K-wire fixation had good results but more complications.
- The conclusion suggests that plate and screw fixation is the most effective method, with potential for absorbable plates as an alternative; however, larger studies are needed for confirmation.
