The Role of Resorbable Plate and Artificial Bone Substitute in Reconstruction of Large Orbital Floor Defect

Figure 4

Sagittal view of the CT from the 14-month follow-up of a patient reconstructed with resorbable plate only is shown to depict how the postoperative results were evaluated. The dotted yellow line depicts the normal baseline orbital floor inferred from the contralateral noninjured orbit, and the red line depicts the greatest height discrepancy between the imaginary normal yellow dotted line and the actual reconstructed orbital floor. The area between the yellow line and actual orbital floor was integrated to calculate the increase in orbital volume after surgery.
