Treatment of patients with post-traumatic orbital defects is relevant problem of ophthalmology and maxillofacial surgery. Residual diplopia or dislocation of the eyeball leads to disability, social maladaptation and development of psychoemotional disorders in patients. In this paper, we present an evaluation of treatment of patients with posttraumatic orbital wall defects based on the retrospective comparative analysis of CT data by computer simulation before and after reconstruction. When comparing the volume of the injured orbits before and after the operation (average volume difference was 2.7 ± 0.9 cm3), a significant improvement was found in terms of recovery of the orbital volume. The factors influencing the treatment effectiveness were determined based on the calculation of the volume of the orbits on the healthy and injured side in the software environment before and after the reconstruction. The causes of the detected cases of incomplete recovery of the orbital volume were analyzed. The solution to the problem of restoring the orbital volume is in the plane of restoring the geometry of the orbit because previous adaptation of the shape of the standard plate to its anatomical structure with overlapping defect on the stereolithographic model provided the best end result. Conclusions. Personalized adaptation of the implants to the shape of the orbit or individual production thereof can increase the accuracy of the orbital volume restoration, which can increase the effectiveness of eliminating complications such as enophthalmos and diplopia. The effectiveness of treatment of post-traumatic orbital defects by traditional methods directly depends on the severity of the damage, the degree of which determines the magnitude of the change in the orbital volume. However, the greater is the volume of the orbit changes as a result of the injury, the worse is the prognosis for its recovery. Development of the ways to individualize implants and evaluate their effectiveness is an important area for further research. Keywords: post-traumatic orbital defects, reconstructive surgery, computer simulation.

Abstract Background To evaluate the risk of general orbital decompression in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED).Methods In this study, we replicated the behavior of intraorbital tissue in patients with TED based on finite element analysis. The orbit and intraorbital tissues of TED patient who underwent orbital decompression were modeled as finite element models. The stress was examined at a specific location of the removed orbital wall of a patient with TED who had undergone orbital decompression, and its variation was investigated and analyzed as a function of the shape and dimension (to be removed).Results In orbital decompression surgery which removes the orbital wall in a rectangular shape, the stress at the orbital wall decreased as the width and depth of the removed orbital wall increased. In addition, the stress of the non-chamfered model (a form of general orbital decompression) was higher than that of the chamfered model. Especially, in the case of orbital decompression, it can be seen that the chamfered model compared to the non-chamfered model have the stress reduction rate from 11.08% to 97.88%.Conclusions It is inferred that if orbital decompression surgery considering the chamfered model is performed on an actual TED patient, it is expected that the damage to the extraocular muscle caused by the removed orbital wall will be reduced.

Background: Transcutaneous lower eyelid approaches are associated with a risk of postoperative scarring depending on the distance between the incision line and the lower eyelid margin. The lower eyelid crease of Caucasians corresponds to a ridge-shaped fold in young Asians. However, this relationship has not been sufficiently evaluated in the latter. The authors, therefore, investigated the location of the scar and the lower eyelid crease or ridge to find the optimal location for the incision line.Methods: This study included 60 out of 139 patients who underwent inferior orbital wall reconstruction through a lower eyelid skin incision between July 2019 and June 2020. According to the location of the scar, the patients were classified into three groups: group A ( ≥ 2 mm above the lower eyelid crease or ridge), group B (within the lower eyelid crease or ridge to 2 mm above the lower eyelid crease or ridge), and group C (within the lower eyelid crease or ridge to 2 mm below the lower eyelid crease or ridge). At 6 or 12 months after surgery, the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) score was obtained, the distance between the lower eyelid margin and the scar (DMS) and the distance between the margins of the peripheral pupil and the lower eyelid (DMPE) were measured, and the occurrence of ectropion was evaluated.Results: Group B had the lowest POSAS score (A: 22.7 ± 8.0, B: 20.9 ± 2.4, C: 32.5 ± 4.1, p < 0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that the DMS was positively correlated with the POSAS score (p < 0.001) and that the risk of DMPE widening increased as the DMS decreased (p = 0.029). None of the patients had ectropion.Conclusion: When using the transcutaneous approach for inferior orbital wall reconstruction, the optimal incision site is within the lower eyelid crease or ridge to 2 mm above the lower eyelid crease or ridge.

Purpose: To investigate the postoperative changes in diplopia and evaluate factors that affect diplopia after isolated inferior orbital wall fracture.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 200 patients who underwent reconstruction surgery for isolated inferior orbital wall fracture between March 2001 and December 2020. Diplopia was categorized into peripheral, central, and full-degree types based on the history and binocular single vision. The natural course of diplopia was analyzed pre-operatively and at 1 day, 6 weeks, and 6 months postoperatively. We analyzed the orbital computed tomography images to determine fracture size (small, medium, or large), fracture site (anterior, middle, posterior, or mixed), extraocular muscle (EOM) size (swelling or deformity), EOM site (incarcerated or prolapsed), and EOM tenting.Results: Diplopia was seen in 144 out of 200 patients (72.0%) before surgery; peripheral diplopia was seen in 57 patients (39.6%), central diplopia in 46 (24.3%), and full-degree diplopia in 20 (13.9%). Pre-operative diplopia differed according to the pre-operative limitation of range of motion (LOM) (p < 0.001) and EOM site (p = 0.022). Pre-operative diplopia type differed according to the LOM direction (p = 0.018) and EOM size (p = 0.020). Diplopia persisted in 33 patients (16.5%) 6 months after the surgery. Recovery was faster in patients with peripheral diplopia compared to those with central or full-degree diplopia.Conclusions: The presence of diplopia was associated with the pre-operative LOM and EOM site but the type of diplopia was associated with LOM direction and EOM size. These factors can be used to predict the progression of diplopia in patients with isolated inferior orbital wall fracture.
