Abstract

Zygomatic bone in the facial skeleton occupies a prominent anteriolateral position in the midface. In recent years Additive Manufacturing also popularly known as 3D Printing is a technological boon where objects can be produced physically in 3 Dimensional format and is playing a vital role in biomedical field especially for complex surgeries.The aim of this paper is to evaluate zygomatic complex fractures based on three point fixation technique using additive manufacturing process. The methodology involves collecting CT scan data of a patient having zygomatic complex fracture.The CT scan data is taken before operation and after operation is performed.Once the 3D physical model is printed then the dimensions of fixed landmarks are measured, thereby comparing the Unfractured side to Fractured side before operation and Fractured side after operation. By adapting this methodology, it is possible to evaluate i.e. calculate the percentage of the Zygomatic Bone restored after Operation.
