REDUCTION ACCURACY IN NASO-ORBITO-ETHMOIDAL FRACTURES AFTER VIRTUAL REDUCTION AND FIXATION USING PRE-ADAPTED MINIPLATES

REDUCTION ACCURACY IN NASO-ORBITO-ETHMOIDAL FRACTURES AFTER VIRTUAL REDUCTION AND FIXATION USING PRE-ADAPTED MINIPLATES (A CLINICAL TRIAL)

This study aims to assess the reduction accuracy of Naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) fractures using pre-adapted titanium miniplates based on a virtually reduced 3D model.

Inclusion Criteria:

• CT-confirmed naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) fracture (unilateral or bilateral) requiring operative fixation (ORIF).
• Acute fractures with injury-to-definitive surgery ≤ 14 days.
• Skeletally mature patients (above 18 years).
• Medically fit for general anesthesia and craniofacial surgery (ASA1).
• Ability to attend for follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active Infection or Heavily Contaminated Open Fractures.
• Old Fractures.
• Patients unsuitable or unable to tolerate surgery.
