Thursday May 5, 2011
![Page 2: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Anatomic considerations
• Medial canthal tendon• Bones: frontal, nasal, maxilla, lacrimal, ethmoid
– Medial orbital wall or orbital floor fractures– Anterior cranial fossa
• Vessels: Supraorbital, supratrochlear, infratrochlear, anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries
• Eye: Globe, optic nerve• Lacrimal apparatus
– Cannaliculi

Diagnosis
• CT
• Old photographs– Estimate intercanthal distance
![Page 4: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Physical Exam
• Swelling• Intercanthal distance
– Approx half interpupillary distance– >40 mm
• Eyelid traction• Bimanual exam• CSF rhinorrhea• Eye exam
– Enophthalmos– 20-25% ocular injury
![Page 5: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Facial Deformity
• Telecanthus
• Shortened palpebral fissures
• Enophthalmos
• Shortened/retruded nose– Flattening, collapse, inward telescoping of
nasal bones
• Ocular dystopia
![Page 6: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Treatment Indications
• All displaced fractures
• Medial canthal tendon insertion displacement/ disinsertion– Telecanthus
• Facial deformity
• Nasal airway
• Tear drainage disruption
![Page 7: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fixation
- Closed reduction, external splinting, wires- Indications
- Simple fractures
- Pros- Simple
- Cons- Cannot correct medial canthal displacement/ disinsertion
- Unable to reduce medial orbital wall/rim
- Collapse, flattening, telescoping of nose

Fixation
- Open reduction, internal fixation- Mustarde 1964, Dingman 1964
- Medial canthal tendon insertion- Stranc 1970- Canthopexy
- Suture/wire

Approaches
• Approaches– Existing lacerations– Local incisions
• Midline vertical (Stranc)• Open sky (Converse 1970)• W incision
– Coronal incision– Lower lid incision– Upper gingivobuccal sulcus incision

Repair
1. Bony rim exposure
2. MCT insertion exposure
3. Reduction medial orbital rim
4. Reconstruction medial orbital wall
5. MCT canthopexy
6. Septal reduction
7. Nasal dorsum augmentation8. Soft Tissue Readaption From Ellis JOMFS 1993
![Page 11: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Bony Rim Exposure
• Exposure– Orbital rims
– Medial orbital wall• Anterior ethmoidal arteries – cauterize
• Posterior ethmoidal arteries – optic nerve just a few mm posterior!!
– Nasal bridge• Careful not to detach MCT insertion
– MCT• ID fragment of insertion
![Page 12: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. MCT Insertion Exposure
• MCT insertion
![Page 13: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3. Reduction Medial Orbital Rim
• Reduce/recon medial orbital rim– Transnasal reduction of MCT-bearing bone
fragment
– Simple
![Page 14: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Transnasal wiring- A: Coronal view,
horizontal mattress
- B: Improper placement (too anterior, lateral displacement)
- C: Proper placement
From Ellis JOMFS 1993

4. Reconstruction Medial Orbital Wall
• Alloplastic – Titanium mesh, medpor
• Autologous– Bone (rib, calvarium

6. Septal Reduction
– Asch forceps
![Page 18: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
7. Nasal Dorsum Augmentation
Dorsal nasal support to prevent secondary deformities
• Primary bone grafting• Indicated with a severely comminuted
septum
• Risks dorsal support weakness
![Page 19: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
8. Soft Tissue Readaption
– Recreate the naso-orbital “valley”– Stents or bolsters– Transnasal wiring for comminuted/severe cases
![Page 20: NOE: Complications and Treatment Craniofacial Rounds Thursday May 5, 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f065503460f94c1b8e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conclusion
• NOE – complex anatomy• Secondary deformities difficult to treat
• Early repair, ORIF
• Restoration of intercanthal width• Proper reduction of canthal tendon bearing fragment
– Early bone grafting to prevent secondary deformity
