Prospective Multicenter Trial to Compare Preformed vs Non Preformed Orbital Implants

Completed

• Conditions: Orbital Floor Fracture; Medial Orbital Wall Fracture

• Registration Number: NCT01121159
• Lead Sponsor: AO Clinical Investigation and Publishing Documentation

Brief Summary

Accuracy of posttraumatic orbital reconstruction of the medial orbital wall and/or floor is better with preoperatively preformed orbital implants than with non-preformed orbital implants.

• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
shape and volume assessing software	up to 3 days after surgery	A post-op CT or CBCT scan will be analyzed with specially developed software that can compare shape and volume of the reconstruced orbit to the uninjured orbit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
shape and volume assessing software	up to 3 days after surgery	6 specific points and regions in the orbit will be compared between the reconstructed and the non-affected orbit
Clinical tests to assess vision	up to 3 days after surgery, 1 week after surgery, 4 weeks after surgery, 12 weeks after surgery	Globe position, visual acuity, bulbus motility and diplopia will be assessed with clinical tests
Rate of complications	up to 3 days after surgery, 1 week after surgery, 4 weeks after surgery, 12 weeks after surgery	Complications will be documented at every follow-up
