Orbital tripod osteotomy for facial asymmetry.
An attempt has been made to provide an additional alternative to the treatment of zygomatic deformities. It is an approach that was used on a series of four patients but one that has met with success and satisfactory results in restoring more normal form and function. When performed correctly, the orbital tripod osteotomy is a physiologically and esthetically sound approach to the correction of the deformed or deficient cheek as a result of trauma or congenital malformation.
