Surgical correction of facial bone deformity and enophthalmos after tripod fracture using an acellular dermal matrix: a case report.

This paper presents a novel approach to the correction of zygomatic malposition and secondary reconstruction orbital floor fractures, highlighting the use of hydrated acellular dermal matrix (ADM), specifically CGDerm One-Step, in a case where traditional solid implants failed to maintain structural integrity and volume. A 27-year-old woman with persistent facial deformities following a traumatic incident underwent a transformative procedure that utilized ADM for volume correction and structural support, addressing significant challenges such as enophthalmos and facial contour depression. This approach was necessitated by the descent of the entire orbital floor and a previously placed implant (Medpor), leading to unsatisfactory volume correction. By integrating ADM with titanium-reinforced fan plates (Synpor), the surgery successfully restored the patient's facial symmetry and addressed her functional concerns, including diplopia and limited eye movement. Postoperative evaluations demonstrated the long-term effectiveness of this method, with significant improvements in facial contour and eye symmetry. Our findings suggest that ADM, particularly in its hydrated form, offers a reliable alternative to traditional bone grafts and implants for correcting complex craniofacial deformities, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. This case underscores the importance of adaptable, tissue-mimicking materials in facial reconstructive surgery, offering insights into their potential for broader application in post-traumatic facial corrections.
