Abstract

The advent of technology shifted the paradigm in planning for complex craniofacial reconstructions. Zygomatic-orbital complex correction is performed efficiently by using pre-operative virtual planning, considering the difficulty in predicting the anatomical variances three-dimensionally. This case report describes the management of a patient reported for the correction of aesthetics three months post-trauma. It highlights the precision and accuracy obtained with virtual surgical planning in designing and fabrication of the stereolithographic models. Virtual surgical planning was done along with virtual surgery and a precise stereolithographic model was constructed on which the mock surgery was replicated to plan the surgical flow and predict the prognosis of the surgery. This concept of using virtual treatment planning and 3D printing of stereolithographic models makes this herculean correction of late post-traumatic zygomatic orbital complex deformities effortless. 3D Printing, Cloud based software algorithm, Computer-aided design, Stereolithography, Virtual Surgical Planning.
