Clinical study on precision repair of orbital fractures using 3D-printed orbital models assisting with absorbable plates
The 3D-printed patient-specific orbital model-assisted absorbable plate reconstruction demonstrates superior clinical efficacy to conventional orbital fracture repair, providing precise anatomical restoration with enhanced enophthalmos correction and orbital volumetric accuracy. This technique significantly reduces operative time while achieving better functional outcomes in diplopia resolution and ocular motility recovery. The absence of implant-related complications confirms its procedural safety, establishing this modality as a valuable adjunct in orbital reconstruction surgery.
