title: Late reconstruction of orbital and naso-orbital deformities.
abstract: Acute orbital fractures and naso-orbital ethmoid fractures can result in chronic orbital and naso-orbital deformities. Understanding the acute injury is the first step in reconstructing the established late deformity. The best management strategy for reconstruction of orbital hypertelorism is to avoid late complications by repairing these deformities early near the time of the original fractures. New technologies from computer-guided surgical planning and additive manufacturing technology produce passive fitting implants tailored for patient-specific needs.
