Restoration of deformities caused by complex fracture of the orbit region and adjacent cranio-maxillofacial fracture / 中华口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>In order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the complex fracture of the orbit region and adjacent cranio-maxillofacial fracture.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>73 cases with blowout fracture of the orbit and adjacent cranio-maxillofacial fracture in recent years were retrospectively analyzed and comparied with different methods of treatment. All cases had undertaken CT examinations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive rate of the CT examinations with blowout fracture of the orbit and adjacent cranio-maxillofacial region were 100%. Operating repositioning, rigid fixation and artificial material placement were used to treat this kind of deformities.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>With the progress of modern photographic methods, blowout fracture of the orbit and adjacent cranio-maxillofacial fracture can be diagnosed clearly and help the operation procedure. Operations with reduction, rigid fixation and filling materials can be used to restore this kind of fracture and appearance.</p>
