The Usefulness of the Navigation System to Reconstruct Orbital Wall Fractures Involving Inferomedial Orbital Strut.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLittle attention has been paid to combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures with the involvement of the inferomedial orbital strut. Managing this particular fracture can prove challenging. However, various innovative techniques have been introduced to assist with the process. Our study focuses on sharing our approach to orbital wall reconstruction using navigation guidance and titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates, specifically cases involving the inferomedial orbital strut. We believe that implementing a navigation system can effectively lead surgeons to the fracture site with utmost safety. Also, we hypothesized that this navigation system is beneficial to use singe fan titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates with orbital wall fractures involving IOS while minimizing possible complications.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 131 patients with medial orbital wall and orbital floor fractures with or without combined other facial bone fractures who underwent orbital wall reconstruction by a single surgeon from May 2021 to May 2023. Amongst, we identified fourteen orbital wall fractures involving the inferomedial orbital strut. We used a subciliary incision as the only approach method for performing titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates for navigation-guided orbital wall reconstruction. Patients were followed up for at least three months.
resultsAll cases were effectively resolved using titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates. There were no complications during the patient's complete recovery, confirmed clinically and radiologically. Based on the serial CT results, it was discovered that implanted titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene plates successfully covered the defect.
conclusionBased on our retrospective analysis, it has been determined that among the 131 recorded cases of orbital fractures, 14 of them (or 10.7%) involved the inferomedial orbital strut. Navigation-guided reduction using titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene (TR-PPE) plates can lead to predictable, reliable, and excellent outcomes for treating orbital fractures involving the inferomedial orbital strut without complications.
