Overview
Brief Summary
“Comparative Analysis of 3D Printed Reduction Splints vs Conventional Methods in Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures: Assessing Anatomical Reduction and Clinical Outcomes - A Pilot Randomised controlled trial is a double blinded clinical trial provisionally approved by Institute Ethics Committee, yet to start with recruiting participants. The primary objective of my study is “To compare the precision of anatomical reduction in Zygomaticomaxillary Complex fractures between patients treated with a 3D printed reduction splint and those treated with conventional reduction methods†for that will be utilizing the benefits of virtual surgical planning in the treatment planning and procedure of ZMC fractures for providing the best results for the patient. Assessing the effectiveness of this technology in zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures can contribute to advancing surgical techniques and patient care. Improved anatomical reduction and stability may lead to better clinical outcomes, including reduced complications, improved functionality, and enhanced aesthetic results. Positive outcomes from this study could influence and shape clinical guidelines, encouraging the adoption of 3D printing and virtual surgical planning in managing facial fractures.
