Clinical effects of 3-D printing-assisted personalized reconstructive surgery for blowout orbital fractures

Purpose One of the key challenges during orbital fracture reconstructive surgery, due to the complex anatomy of the orbit, is shaping and trimming the precise contour of the implants. The objectives of this study were to describe and evaluate the use of a three-dimensional (3-D) printing technique for personalized reconstructive surgery for repairing orbital fractures.
