Coronal slice of a ct scan shows a non affected left orbit with normal anatomy of the transition zone.
Ct scan orbital floor plate.
This is typically caused by a direct blow to the central orbit from a fist or ball.
Appropriate timing is based on the clinical exam and imaging.
The arrow indicates the buttress of the transition zone between medial orbital wall and orbital floor.
Computed tomography ct is the primary modality for assessing orbital soft tissue and bony injury in the emergency setting.
Ct scanning of the orbits is very quick which significantly reduces motion artifacts.
Plate borders medial wall orbital floor designed from ct scan data the three dimensional implants closely approximate the topographical anatomy of the hu man orbital floor and medial wall to provide accurate recon struction even after significant two wall fractures 5 6 preformed three dimensional shape.
Coronal slice of a postoperative ct scan taken after transconjunctival repair of the complete left medial orbital wall and orbital floor.
We then cover the implant with our proven medpor biomaterial to minimize sharp edges even if the plate requires modification.
Orbital blowout fractures occur when there is a fracture of one of the walls of orbit but the orbital rim remains intact.
Materials such as silicone and pmma have been in use for over 30 years and are radiopaque fig 11.
The following discussion assumes a volume ct technique using a multidetector scanner when referring to ct.
Orbital implants have a variable appearance at ct depending on their composition.
Silicone implants are 440 hu whereas in one study pmma implants were 135 hu 24.
Large fracture 50 of orbital floor on ct scan indicates that enophthalmos is likely to occur.
3d orbital floor inlay designed to hold small and large left and right 3d orbital floor plates sits beneath standard inlay within the small.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed to drain the maxillary mucocele and 50 ml of thick yellow mucus was expressed which was sent to pathology.
Orbital floor fracture repair might be indicated in this setting for small or medium sized defects.
These plates consist of implants that closely approximate the topographical anatomy of the human orbital floor and medial wall and are intended for use in a selective craniomaxillofacial trauma.
The matrixmidface preformed orbital plates are designed from ct scan data.
Universal 1 2 upper face module laser etched to aid in plate identification plate holding forcep plate holding forceps utilizes two pins to stabilize plate.
Concomitant medial orbital wall fracture can increase risk of progressive enophthalmos.
