Abstract

Patients suffering from zygomatic complex fractures always present facial deformity and dysfunctions, and thereafter develop psychological and physiological problems. It is really hard to get an ideal prognosis for the zygomatic complex fractures because of the complicated anatomical structures. Computer-assisted surgery techniques, as the new emerging auxiliary methods, can optimize the surgical protocol, predict operation outcomes, and improve the accuracy and quality of the operation. Meanwhile the postoperative complications can be reduced effectively. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of computer-assisted surgery techniques in the management of zygomatic complex fractures.

Keywords: Accuracy; Computer-assisted surgical techniques; Reduction; Zygomatic complex fractures.

A 43-year-old man was diagnosed with right delayed zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures. A, B: Preoperative imaging data with 3D reconstructions; C, D: The original model is obtained from CT scan data; E,F: The other model is obtained by mirroring the unaffected side and the titanium mesh was preshaped according to the post-reduction bone contours; G, H: Postoperative imaging data with 3D reconstructions.
