this study evaluates the post-surgical correction of enophthalmos and orbital volume using 3D printed only versus pre-bent titanium mesh in blow-out fracture cases
Many materials had been used in reconstruction of blow out fractures, the aim of this study is to evaluate the enophthalmos correction and orbital volume restoration using 3D printed onlay versus pre-bent titanium mesh
