The Orbitomalar Ligament: A Cleavage Plane in Oculofacial Trauma.

We describe an oculofacial injury phenotype manifesting as a cleavage plane following the orbitomalar ligament in 5 cases. Across these cases, curvilinear wounds followed the course of the orbitomalar ligament, running clean planes through orbicularis oculi down to the infraorbital rim and arcus marginalis. One case involved bilateral orbitomalar ligaments, and 1 case involved the inferior canaliculus.

A New Approach for Orbital Wall Reconstruction in a Rabbit Animal Model Using a Hybrid Hydroxyapatite-Collagen-Based Implant.

Reconstructing the orbit following complex craniofacial fractures presents significant challenges. Throughout the years, several materials have been used for orbital reconstruction, taking into account factors such as their durability, compatibility with living tissue, cost efficiency, safety, and capacity to be adjusted during surgery. Nevertheless, a consensus has not yet been reached on the optimal material for orbital restoration.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 98 patients (98 eyes) who underwent Medpor implantation surgery at Bethune International Peace Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. The degree of eyeball enophthalmos and total fracture area in patients before and after surgery, as well as orbital volume were measured.

A Case of Saturday Night Retinopathy Following Postoperative Orbital Compression Bandaging: Diagnosis and Evaluation Using Multimodal Imaging.

We report a rare case of Saturday Night Retinopathy (SNR) following postoperative orbital compression bandaging, highlighting the value of multimodal imaging in diagnosis and management. A 24-year-old male underwent surgical repair of an inferior orbital wall fracture with an absorbable implant, followed by compression bandaging of the right eye for three days. Upon bandage removal, the patient experienced a significant drop in visual acuity (VA) from 20/20 to 20/200.

Evaluation of Anatomical and Functional Success in Canalicular Laceration Repair Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Dacryoscintigraphy.

Purpose: To assess the anatomical and functional outcomes in patients who underwent surgery for canalicular laceration and did not experience significant epiphora, and to compare these outcomes with contralateral uninjured eye.

Method: Dacryoscintigraphy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT), MUNK scores, and a satisfaction questionnaire were administered to 24 patients who had canalicular laceration repair without significant epiphora and had a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Tear meniscus height (TMH), depth (TMD), and area (TMA) were measured using anterior segment OCT and compared with the values in the uninjured eye.

Mine-explosive trauma of the maxillofacial region: current state of the problem and description of a case from practice.

Military conflicts, terrorist attacks and wars around the world pose a wide range of questions to the medical community about providing medical care to military personnel and civilians with mine-explosive trauma, which is characterized by simultaneous damage of various anatomical areas, including the maxillofacial region. The purpose of this work was to describe a case from practice of treating a patient with a mine-explosive trauma, which manifested by a fracture of the right zygomatic-orbital complex and the upper jaw on the right. Using own case from practice, the authors showed that the treatment of patients with mine-explosive trauma of the maxillofacial region is long-term, multi-stage and should take place in a specialized hospital with the involvement of a team of multidisciplinary specialists.

In-House Three-Dimensional Printing in Orbital Reconstructive Surgery: A Case Report and Future Perspectives.

This article discusses the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing in reconstructing the orbital floor of a middle-aged male patient who suffered an orbital fracture due to a fall. A virtual 3D model of the fractured orbit was created using open-source software, allowing for the planning of the defect reconstruction by mirroring the contralateral orbit. A metal reconstruction plate was then molded based on the 3D printed model, sterilized, and utilized during surgery, which resulted in reduced surgical time and improved adaptation.

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (marPOR) is a Suitable Material for the Reconstruction of Orbital Floor Fracture Defects in Human Cadavers.

Purpose: Despite there being different materials for orbital floor reconstruction available today, outcomes are still not satisfying. In recent years, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has gained popularity in the field of orthopedic surgery due to its good biocompatibility and low infection rate. With its three-dimensional compound structure, it combines high stability and ductility, making it a potential material to be used for orbital floor reconstruction.
