| Abstract | |
Orbital fractures are high prevalent, and result in aesthetic and functional impairments. The severity of orbital defects is related with the extension, morphology and location. The orbital volume changes are intimately associated with the presence of enophthalmos and diplopia. Therefore, the treatment must reestablish the orbital anatomy and volume. Presently, the most applied material for orbital reconstruction is the conventional titanium mesh, and the association of other techniques, such as endoscopic assistance and the use of printed models, can optimize the treatment. About the orbital trauma pathophysiology, two mechanisms are historically established – hydraulic and buckling mechanisms. However, the complete understanding of the features of stress distribution of each mechanism are not clear. Thus, the aim of this work is to perform a tomographic evaluation of unilateral orbital fractures treated with conventional titanium mesh; to create a digital model of the orbital cavity for a dynamic simulation of the mechanisms of orbital trauma; and to report the optimization of treatment of orbital fractures by the association of techniques, with transantral endoscopy and printed model.
