Clinical Trial: Evaluation of Navigation Assisted Reconstruction of Posttraumatic Zygomatic Deformity

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Evaluation of the Application of Point-to-Point Computer-Assisted Navigation for Mirroring-Reconstructing of Unilateral Posttraumatic Zygomatic Deformity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary: Treatment of late deformities following fractures of the orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex can be considered a formidable challenge, even to the skilled surgeon. However, the development of Computer-Assisted Navigation technology Offers new opportunities in the treatment of such deformities. With the help of navigation system,pre- and intraoperatively,the objective of any supporting medical device for reconstruction of the orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex would be visualization of the real and desired positions of the zygoma. In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators would like to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a new method for planning and realizing zygomatic osteotomies in cases of established post-traumatic deformities using computer assisted navigation.
