Emerging treatments

3D stereotactic navigation imaging

Surgical management with joint external and functional endoscopic sinus surgical (FESS) approaches have been used by some units where indicated for the more posterior fractures. However, more attention has been given recently to 3D stereotactic navigation imaging intraoperatively, as this is a developing field for more complex injuries.

CAD/CAM customised prosthesis

The use of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customised prosthesis construction modelled on an overlaid image of the horizontally flipped contralateral orbital floor has shown to be useful in complex injuries.
